I've posted this before, I do service calls for a few big ISP's from time to time.. I'd say 70% of the calls are related to people with spyware. It's insane how bad this shit has gotten. I've seen computers that could barley run with all the ad aware and I've also seen some of the affiliate ID swaps.. in fact smoky posted one a few days ago..

I can say one thing for sure. The program owners may not see a big difference in sign ups right away. However the affiliates are seeing it, when they stop sending hits to programs because their codes are jacked..The programs will start taking notice. Because the hi jacker's aren't sending shit for traffic they are stealing it.

The program owners really need to start keep track of who is sending them traffic and where it's coming from.
