Hey Zeus. I found the same thing yesterday. It's a shame it's 2 years old

Id be interested in something like this. Anyone working or has any other script similar to this? Im surprised no one has taken this open source code and adapted it.

Interesting stats, and that's "only" spyware and not counting all the guys infected with affiliate code changing trojans...

everyone should be reminded of the fact that its not "spyware" according to the FTC. so, trying to hurt their business by mischaracterizing what the software is, opens you up to civil liability.

When half the fucking anti virus software programs out there call it " spyware" and even Zango admitted that they have had (and likely still do) affiliates who installed their shit without people knowing on million of pcs.... then it is what it is... spyware.

They can call it adware till they are blue in the face but when it is abused by their own partners (making it spyware) and most people see it as spyware, then good luck sueing me for calling it spyware.

I think i will trust with the anti virus companies call it and not what the shaddy company wants you to think.

because 90% of the people here dont make money so they dont care about stuff like this and looking at porn is more important to them.

Any takers on doing such a script? Im not sure what sort of coding this would entail.

%1 of trafic in such a short period is nutso ( i.e. millions of infected viewers )
