Back to what the original post in this thread was about.
If you haven't installed this stuff, you should find a way to research it further.
This affects anyone that buys traffic via PPC engines, gets natural traffic from the SE's, or even has just a little bit of traffic.

Say for instance that a surfer with this malware searches for "thehun.net" into google. The first result is of course thehun.net, but clicking on it won't get you there.
After several clicks that surfer might actually get to TheHun, but clicks from there are just redirected as well. This scenario seems to ring true for most sites and all keywords. Users are redirected to either their(zlob) sponsor, or redirected through a PPC engine to another destination.

If you use any of the smaller ppc engines, search123, goclick, searchfeed etc., you might have noticed a huge drop in your campaign returns since this scumware(moviebox,zlob) came out, especially for more generic terms.

There is a lot more to it, if you have a spare computer, check it out. You might be surprised
