    Who's making money with toolbars?

    I'd like to know who's stealing my sign-ups.

    All for a lousy 15 cents. Pitiful... try looking at the BIG picture for once.

                            You should have been be able to make more out of that 404 traffic! Next to that... we should all work on "faith of surfers" and not push them into some traps

                                        I've checked but I don't think so. I think I'll start adding links to Spy Sweeper from my sites anyway. Spyware has destroyed 2 of my computers and now even I am leery about making purchases and doing banking online. It's ridiculous.

                                        I'm glad you stopped.

                                          I stopped but thousands of webmasters still doing it.

                                          So it doesnt matter really..

                                                  Actually, Webroot, (makers of SpySweeper), does have an affiliate program. If I remember, is a bit hard to find from their pages however.
