Here is a breakdown of how much of our traffic has spyware! (Stats included)

Here are my stats based on unique IPs as per the above suggestion

Total measured: 196,030 uniques

seekmo: 870 (0.44%)
zango: 878 (0.45%)
hotbar: 259 (0.13%)
funweb: 4518 (2.32%)
megaupload: 1204 (0.61%)
peoplepal: 462 (0.24%)
hbtools: 418 (0.21%)

Does funweb do those smiley banners that laugh (both visibly and audibly) when you mouseover them?

Those are insane numbers.

Funweb sure gets around.

I assume most of you guys are checking your logs where the traffic is from a variety of sources like tgp's etc..

Anyone have a strictly SE driven site they can get stats on?

insane numbers. .thanks for sharing.

One other thing I should mention, it's also invalid to sum the total of the individual results (eg hotbar+zango+... = 19%) because some people will have more than one installed.

Example:

"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; FunWebProducts; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; HbTools 4.8.7; Zango 10.0.275.0; Seekmo 10.0.341.0)"

I had a play with some simple scripting to pull data from area enclosed in brackets, I then removed obvious strings such as "Windows 98" or "MSIE 6.0."

There may still be some common ones remaining, but if I wasn't sure I left it in.

Seems like 3-5&#37; is the total average?

I doubt there will be much if any of these users finding your sites via search engine.....simply because these programs will redirect user searches at google or yahoo or wherever to a paid search engine where the spyware owners get paid for the clicks.

Bump so an important thread doesn't die.

thanks again for posting this shap.

you're an idiot

funwebproducts is big, but if i recall well even when you uninstall it your browser still carries the description of it. I'm assuming a large &#37; of those are not active ones. Anyone can confirm this?

can someone explain a little more on what happens if a surfer has funweb or other spyware installed?

by my logs, FunWebProducts is in 8% of my server request, does that mean they are downloading my content but never have the option of joining my site due to redirects?

Its fucking insane how a "would you hit it" threads get more veiws and replies than a thread like this.

fucking depressing
