Here is a breakdown of how much of our traffic has spyware! (Stats included)
Hey Guys. We just went thru our logs and here is the breakdown of spyware traffic we found going to our site today.
Zango 0.75% Seekmo 0.82% 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? |
We're tracking as we speak...results shortly.

HOLY SHIT.
4.6% of our traffic has funweb |
I remember reading that most Zango infected computers don't actually reveal this in the User-Agent header string, only if they have a certain feature turned on.

Since Midnight here is the percentage of file requests that had the following companies in the user agent info. funweb 14% Zango 2.6% seeko 1.1% hbtools 0.2% hotbar 1% Right now the test is on file requests so it may be skewed in the members area if someone with it downloads the entire site. Still 19% is insane. |

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. |
shap, zango is pretty known here, but what do the other spyware programs do?

Anyhow - Zango cut my connection - wonder how they will bounce me around if I can't connect to the internet anymore?? Just uninstalled Zango so I could connect to the net and once I can, I will email it to you if you want. Once I figure out how to fix my dns settings... |

I was trying to run zango tests last night but had to give up. Zango has killed my computer. I can't even surf anymore. It takes 15 minutes to open IE |

Anyone notice how TGP traffic hit the shitter the past few months? Oh and they stared passing this shit around with mailers as well. Thats a LOT of traffic folks. Read more about it here http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=720781 Ray |
we checked this some while ago for zango alone and had like 0.7% on our main.
This shit is a serious problem. And I agree with Trixxxia about the codec crap, we had some guys targeting freeones in the serps and then come up with the codec crap. All going to the same french (if I am correct) aff. program, obviously they never responded to the complaints showing they just don't give a shit (duhhh). The program is gone already (videoscash) and probably running under another name now. Shit like this makes me sad :( |

Them rogue affiliates sure have been busy!
Are they kin to the rogue programmers from last year that used copyrighted images for some of the tours? I dont expect an answer though. Im sure all the people involved blacked out and dont remember a thing . . . and you thought tossing a chair at guys from 10 stories up was wild... |

I was over at one friends parents house and I shit you not, they had about 5 tool bars on their browser eating up half of the laptop screen. |
not sure how funweb works but I read here and there that they show popups and I am pretty sure that if they do so you can bid on certain words to to trigger it. hm
