Unfortunately, there's not only one software doing this.
These types of practices have been discussed a few times during the past year and pro-active suggestions were made but it seems nobody caught on. Educate your surfer - make sure he knows how to clean it up and prevent it from being installed again.
If it seizes to be profitable for them and the lawsuits pack up - they will stop.

I don't think educating the surfer is a realistic solution, sure it can help but no way it is going to fix the problem. These spy bots need to either become illegal or every sponsor needs to block them to make this go away, with the last one being the most effective solution. Thats like the anti porn people saying we want to fight porn, lets educate the people instead trying to make it illegal and getting rid of all the porn sites. For once we should take their example on something an aggressivly attack this shit. THIS AFFECTS EVERYONE OF YOU! I wouldn't be surprised if you are making 10 - 20% less in sales because of sites like this. If this one spybot can make MILLIONS, who do you think they are stealing it from.
So online gambing is now illegal, but online stealing is not....
Nice to see some sponsors reply and that they have ways to detect this. I hope more step up and announce their stand on this publicy, so when I send them accounts to ban they will have to take action.
