I don't get it personally. Why not have multiple methods for tracking affiliate sales in case one fails? Redundancy in this type of thing using various methods to track affiliate traffic seems like the way to go.

I'm sure there are methods that can be implemented on the affiliate end as well to kill the spawned windows from spyware/adware/malware.
