    AFF affiliate auto-installing serious viruses and spyware...

    http://adultfriendfinder.com/go/g668254-pct

    This is #2 of my reports reguarding these very threatening spyware/virus installs by affiliates... when will the sponsors step in and take action? I got rid of everything except these damned popups and browser hijacks (I miss having control over my homepage)


    They really will accept ANY traffic.

    Do a system restore. Sponsors should step up...but I bet its some of their top money makers.

        I really don't see how this traffic can convert. I can see them getting a few, but after seeing it 100 times and closing it 100 times, how would anyone actually decide on #101 that they will join?

                does no good if they don't get x ammount of free signups per x ammount of clicks... the assholes switch you over to percentage.

                  Ya I noticed that. One of the main reasons I haven't tried AFF yet. Wanna make sure I go in with the right traffic.

                      That's a lot of money to end up coming short when you already used 10 other (free and not free) applications to no avail.

                        If system restore fails for me I usually reboot in safe mode. Run Ewido Security Suite, Spyware Doctor, and then HiJack this. Usually does the trick.

                          It has affected the windows initiation file WININIT.dll so the choices screen don't even come up, just freezes.

                            It's a huge pain in the nuts to get rid of spyware. I have a feeling the Gov will be hitting it hard within the next year and there will be serious jail time for it.

                              should be... as well as the assholes who accept this traffic and want to argue about it.

                                mine was directed at the spyware...
                                Secure your browser, set up a tight security policy, dont install activeX components, disable local scriphost and upnp, and for GODS sake have a good antivirus program

                                          Worth a try if you already havent tried it. Works best if you run it reboot and then run it again.

                                              I see a few of you are missing the point. Like the chicken and the egg. I am sitting at my computer and after I type certain words, or visit certain webpages, I get these popups. I get mostly casino shit. But I also get the AFF ads and some ImLive ads. This is from a bad spyware and/or virus that I got from some codec. So I took that link code from these damn popups that keep appearing, and the shit is getting old.

                                                  If you did a search you would be shocked how much that comes up.
