Toolbars just sucks cocks ... Always hated them

dirtysouth 07-02-2004 04:15 PM

I don't promote them (toolbars) myself but when big programs like ND & TB get targeted I guess it makes one pay more attention.

I cant believe some webmasters promote sponsors and then on the same page promote "eraser/history kill/evidence eliminating" software that removes all the cookies on the surfers machine, hence any chance of getting credit for signups to porn sites.

Only one explanation. They are sheep.

Karma is a bitch.

ive never fucked with them, so honestly i never thought about them stealing traffic/links. honestly when you think about the fact that they are just fuckin scum why wouldnt they. great idea really as far as scum goes.

It's funny... people start using the auto-installing toolbars for $0.14 a download and wonder why their sales dropped off the face of the earth. Wake up. These toolbars don't generate money, they steal money.

personally I never used to have toolbars.. neither promote them.

maybe you have a solution how to deal with them?

anyway whoever expiriencing this ref link hijacking, can you please check something - copy your ref link to the address bar of the browser and hit enter, does the ref changes when page is loaded?

if hijackers don't have control over address bar, then you probably want to keep ur ref links in database and on a page where ref link suppoused to be just have a link to out.php?id=10 for instance, then that php file looks up ref link from db and forwards to that ref link with your code. this will only work if hijacking doesn't accur in the address bar.

anyone has names of these trojans?
