shame on adultcash and sexpromote
 

I am promoting some Adultcash sites and I was checking the links when I see a popup for some toolbar. Out of curiousity I click on OK to see what the toolbar is. It turns out to be the mirar toolbar which is a malicious adware stealth installed toolbar. It takes over complete control of the browser and replaces the ads on sites with ads to other sites and periodically pops up ads to selected porn sites. The toolbar is next to impossible to uninstall.
The surfer ends up with a never ending loop of porn ads whenever their browser is open. It looks like its being done by a company in Toronto which runs sexpromote.com, cupidcams.com and slickcash.com. Adultcash is probably being paid per install and puts the toolbar software on their exit console.
You can find some info about how bad this toolbar is at

This is the worst thing I have ever seen done on the internet.
It is just plain greedy and malicious. It is dreadful when sponsors are resorting to this tactic. It will alienate many surfers from visiting porn sites. It may even prompt the government to try to regulate the porn industry more closely.
I will now stop using adultcash as a sponsor. Coincidently, I have been approached by sexpromote to sign up with their program but after seeing this I will never use them. I urge every other webmaster to stop using sponsors which promote these toolbars, otherwise we are killing this industry with greed and avarice and are inviting more close scrutinity from various public authorities.
