IMHO, if you do it clear, it doesn't make good cash usually

Nope, hasn't worked well with my traffic. I know others that have done very well with them though.

So in other words you've fucked up more than half a million computers http://www.gofuckyourself.com/newsea...der=descending ?

You can be proud of yourself.

Really depends on how much traffic you send and it's quality

Lot's of fuckers are using exploits to promote PPC. I'm really upset you think I'm doing that too. As a matter of fact, tgp skimmed traffic converts pretty good as well as tgp pop-unders. If it didn't work out for you, well... get better traffic. Nothing personal man.

I'm talking about coolwebsearch (in your faked sig). You're basically making money by fucking up other peoples PCs (http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...e bsearch.com), and by doing that you're scaring possible costumers away from buying anything again via the internet, and therefore you harm the business of honest webmasters like myself. So be upset as much as you want but do us all a favour and stop promoting that shit.

I will promote whatever I want, bitch.
If you have no balls to admit that other people can earn that much (as shown in my sig) doing it clean - that is your problem.

Do a search in google

Description
CoolWebSearch is a name given to a wide range of different browser hijackers. Though the code is very different between variants, they are all used to redirect users to coolwebsearch.com and other sites affiliated with its operators.

The script at this site can only detect two of the variants listed here, namely CoolWebSearch/DNSRelay and CoolWebSearch/ASTCtl.

Variants
CoolWebSearch/DataNotary: earliest known variant, hijacking to datanotary.com. Drops a CSS stylesheet file in the Windows folder and sets it to be used as the user stylesheet for all web pages viewed in IE. The stylesheet includes embedded hahahahahahahahahaha code which tries to guess when the user is viewing porn sites.

CoolWebSearch/BootConf: drops a user CSS file in the same way as DataNotary, but pointing at www.coolwebsearch.com. Also hijacks the home page and all search settings to point to coolwebsearch, and hacks the DNS Hosts file to redirect access of MSN address-bar search to coolwebsearch.com. The site names are obfuscated using URL-encoding (%XX) to make them difficult to read. A program bootconf.exe is set up to run on every startup, resetting the hijack. Finally coolwebsearch.com is added to the Trusted Sites list, along with msn.com, whom coolwebsearch are also impersonating.

CoolWebSearch/MSInfo: another user-CSS-hijacker, this time pointed at true-counter.com, currently redirecting to global-finder.com.

CoolWebSearch/SvcHost: a Hosts file hijacker, which works in a rather unusual way (probably to avoid being detected by anti-hijacker tools). Its targeted sites (Yahoo Search, MSN Search and all countries? versions of Google) are set in the Hosts file to point to ?localhost? (127.0.0.1). Since the local host (the computer the browser is running on) is most often not running a web server, this results in an error page; it is this error page that is then hijacked to the CWS site slawsearch.com.

CoolWebSearch/PnP: a search hijacker that hides inside the ?inf? folder usually used for storing device driver information. Its hijacker file oemsyspnp.inf is run on each startup, using a slightly different install command each time. This command cycles through install sections 'RunOnce', 'AudioPnP', 'VideoPnp', 'IdePnP' and 'SysPnP', though quite why is unknown as it does the same thing regardless of which section is used, namely hijacking home page and search settings to point at www.adulthyperlinks.com and www.allhyperlinks.com. It also adds activexupdate.com to the IE ?Safe Sites? list, for unknown purpose (this is not the same as the Trusted Sites Zone).

CoolWebSearch/KeyMgr: a new version of PnP with different names.

CoolWebSearch/MSSPI: a search results hijacker implemented as a Winsock2 Layered Service Provider (a fairly low-level networking component, which is tricky to remove). Targets Google, Yahoo and Altavista, opening advertising from unipages.cc.

CoolWebSearch/DNSRelay: an address bar search hijacker implemented as an IE URL Search Hook. As well as search phrases, entering any site name into the address bar without a leading ?http://? or ?www? will result in a search aimed at activexupdate.com, a CWS site redirecting through yellow2.com to allhyperlinks.com.

CoolWebSearch/ASTCtl: a new version of DNSRelay with different names.

But at least you've already admitted that you're a cheater.
