    I've solved the spyware affiliate link hijacking problem

    OK so working on a WEGCash ad the other day I realized that spyware was stealing my links. You can tell cause they redirect to another page that has your link code embedded. I kept the spyware on and figured out how to encode the URL so the spyware wouldn't recognize it.

    I tested it out and when I checked the "same" link again, my code was embedded in the second page and not some spyware fuckers. By eliminating the trigger strings in the URL I made it un-jackable(by todays standards).

    It's free. Get it yo. Be interesting to see if this causes a big increase in sales. I know most people have spyware so it's possible depending what sponsors they're jacking so far.

            It's just me now. Better safe than sorry. On mainstream boards they bitch about link jacking constantly. I don't know if they're blowing it out of proportion but seeing the links on a site I was buying traffic for changed pissed me off so I solved it.

                did you make this yourself or you just find it?

                        SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                            Thanks for the effort, but its a very simple matter for the fuckers to just make the substitution algorithm a little bit simpler.

                            Of course they would only go to that trouble if a LOT of people were using protection like yours.

                                Whatever I have(which I think I got from overpro, which is WAY nastier than other simple toolbars and should really be avoided). I'm not sure exactly which executable file is jacking my links, but it rotates between 3 different WEG ID's.
