    Whats funny is that some of them that use this scumware are infact GFY advertisers hiding behind a clandestine outfit behind the scenes.

                    Which is even more reason the sponsors need to get on it ASAP.

                    They may think it's not their problem, but it boils right down to them.

                    YOU know how to get traffic.
                    THEY(scumware) know how to steal traffic.
                    When you stop sending traffic to the sponsor, the Scumware guys stop making money through you, (for that sponsor anyway). Then the sponsor wonders why all the heavy traffic hitters have moved away.

                    If the sponsor can stay proactive, they can keep their heavy hitters, and help eliminate the theft.

                    Unfortunately AlienQ hit it on the head.. Sometimes the sponsor themselves are responsible, but, one step at a time might get things going, and maybe, some of these other 'sponsors' will come out in the wash..

                    And again from what I have seen on this board, getting a sponsor around here to even think of adding the options that Smokey talks about, would be next to impossible.

                                btw Smokey, if you know of any installs/spyware/toolbars that are affecting the main sponsor you mentioned in the start of the thread, please let me know. If they're not willing to stop it, I'm willing to go after my lost sales. I can tell you its definitely in the high 5 figures based on my downward trend sales figures.

                                        If these hijackers were good, I'd redirect traffic at the processor (ccbill / paycom) level instead of the affiliate programs. Otherwise, it would be alot easier to see hits being shaved since they'd never be tracked which doesn't seem to be the case.

                                                        Not an error at all. WebAir proudly hosted Isearch when Porngraph was doing auto install's over night and day with Isearch. It stole millions of webmaster's traffic over night and damaged many webmaster's traffic trust.

                                                        Nope they didnt shut it down, they just let it keep happening...

                                                        Now ya can pin point all those companies and people as being sponsor's of this sort of activity.
