You want to build your own program but you don't know that much about it. You join GFY and start researching, you find out most of the best affiliate programs are using NATS. TMM does a special where they waive the setup fee for new customers and you jump on that. About the same time Paul Markham has a bulk package cheap and you make a quick site with that, hook it up to NATS and ccbill and start brokering traffic to yourself using existing pipelines. A few months later you get another bulk deal with The Duck. Eventually you notice all your sites kind of suck (not the fault of the content, just needed more of it) and you want something that sucks a little less.
Barefootsies comes along offering a pretty huge amount of content for a monthly payment that won't necessarily break the bank. Plus he's offering a nice script and design work.
So you get a tubesite and add that to your program. Traffic is already there, you get instant joins and eventually some malware comes along and hits your site.
Shortly after you post a review of the transaction on GFY and everybody thinks you're Barefootsies. The rest of the story is in this thread.
I think I have explained myself enough now. I will answer legitemate questions but seriously I was just trying to return a favor and post a positive review of a transaction that I thought went well. It was mostly just to be polite. I didn't realize I would have to sell it to you guys so hard.
I am beginning to realize that there is nothing I want from any of you guys that I could get by making you believe me.
If I want something I pay for it, usually upfront so you can believe me or not, most of the more antagonistic assholes in this thread aren't even really offering anything at all, much less something I might want.
But I do thank them for all the bumps. I guess my next thread wont have to start with "most of you guys don't know me".

Alrighty then. Thank you.
Now, if you had just not done the post with the "laughing your ass off if someone got infected" crap.
I am not a BF hater and I am glad you had a good experience.
I posted the screen shot from urlvoid to show where the malware warnings were coming from. I went and researched a bit for you. Your stuff that you are checking with might be having you come up clean BUT you have an iframe in there that is pulling in a fling ad (promo.fling.com.....) and that page is being reported by several of the black lists so you are getting reported by inheritance on some of those lists.
You should (imho):
1. remove the fling iframe. Best not to do an iframe anyway (again just imho). If you can help it, never give control of your page over to someone else no matter how much you trust them.
2. go to the various lists and report that you have cleaned the problem. If you just wait to fall out of the database you are going to be waiting a helluva long time potentially.
Just a suggestion.
