hbtools 0.37%
hotbar 0.28%
peoplepal 0.16%
Those are the top five. I'm going to research some more to see what else i find. So far it looks like at the very bare minimum 2% of our traffic is infected.
Anybody else have any results to share?

Your other enemy, if I may add - are the 'codec' installers - probably doing more damage.
Here's why - they look legit and are on free galleries. Surfer sees that he's missing a codec - he can 'hear' the moaning but can'T see the action or he can't hear or see anything but the thumb was DAMN good. Anyhow... they install this codec and THEN the traffic belongs to them.
What they do is:
Overwrite affiliate codes - they will hijack on the join form.
You find something suspicious and shut down the account? They send this traffic, which is destined for you (or your galleries) to a 'fake trading site' and then either resell this traffic to search engines OR to traffic companies. Fucking you over twice when you're buying the traffic at a higher cost.
