Is this ok or is this page trying to install some sort of trojan?
 
I have this guy submitting tons of galleries to boardsbyniche.com, but all his videos links to pages like this : http://www.videosgalleries.com/mt/mi...=FF9D30&id=643

Google it. It's some nasty shit pretending to be video codecs.


"...media-codec.com purports to be a website offering additional codecs
for windows media player. It installs a progam called "falcon spy"
instead.

And I still have not managed to get rid of the falcon spy program. It
is one of the most annoying programs ever written constantly popping
up and demanding you purchase it. It is a new class of software
"extortionware"..."

I am pretty sure I used that program on one of my CJ's one time

it does not install trojans but some sort of spyware I think
I stopped using it because it was not a good deal

I think you should ban him

the company is http://www.videoscash.com/?ref=517

I believe :)

Linkster 05-13-2006 10:34 PM

yes it is videoscash and they pay per install on the surfers computer

yota71 05-13-2006 10:59 PM

:2 cents: The codec is the spyware it is a pain to get rid of

Linkster 05-13-2006 11:02 PM

Yep - been getting submits that have downloads from videosgalleries dot com and vidscollection dot com - its all sponsor content from that sponsor that installs the trojan looking like its installing a codec - submitters blacklisted and publicized

spacedog 05-13-2006 11:08 PM

These are also similar to what Iframecash does... see these fuckers on the board spamming their shit to get more webmasters to push the per install shit/
