Amazing how it all works out.

Even with that reasoning, sponsors would have to advertise with every piece of scumware available and would still not reach the level of traffic that all their affiliates combined give them now. Advertising would become expensive. Not every surfer on the planet is infected with spyware, not all infected computers have zango or cws or look2me. Some have many of them, the luckiest of the unlucky ones only have one or two and it may not even be one of the application that the sponsor is using.
It would quickly become a "battle of sponsors" and it wouldn't last. To be profitable to anyone involved in these shady practices, scumware advertising NEEDS legit affiliates to feed on.
