hard to believe :(

I was browser highjacked today through an exit console from another sponsor. I haven't read anything about them doing it and the search function didn't work today for me to find threads about it.

It was a bitch to fix and I can't even imagine 'real' people being able to remove this shit.

search.cc was what the homepage was changing to every 60 seconds.

Fucking hope they overdose on the drugs they must be using to think that this is a cool way to make money. Talk about burning bridges... shit!

I've got so much damn adware, spyware and scumware on my computer that I don't even know for sure if I'm posting on the REAL gfy....


Steve Lightspeed

hahaha... yes, you are!

so what's the company's counter-position to this?

just shows how careful you need to be when picking sponsors

Easton, it could mean that you are reading the same fake version I'm posting on right?

That would make three of us.

Adware people need to be shot!

Wow, we all have the same hijack? damn insidious!

a good place to find info on this crap

www.spywareinfo.com

If I was gonna do spyware installs, this is where I would put it.... "So you want info on spyware eh? How about some first-hand experience!"

if you cant uninstall the shit some good posts on how to get rid of the crap


here is another good resource i have found..

touché:winkwink:

Was U-haul suing Gator?

Gator has a long page of terms and conditions and the user actually has to agree to install the program.

With most of they adware/spyware/scumware installed today the user has no idea its been installed or even exists on their system.....totally different case in this situation I believe.

<rant>
PLUS, the surfer who visits my website doesn't own the adspace on my website, I OWN THE ADSPACE ON MY WEBSITE, and anyone who tries to overwrite my ads with theirs or steal my traffic is a thief plain and simple.

i also read on O-p-r-a-n-o that the owner of megapornbucks charlo barbosa has a trojan in his toolbar software to use surfers computers as proxies to send illegal spam mail through

someone also posted there is an ftc investigation under him and to contact them if they have any details to add

i believe he's in bc canada, rcmp is probably involved...i wonder how long till he is nailed, hope offshore corporations can protect him!! i think the isp the rcmp was investigating was data fortress also located in british columbia i think it was. something about some guy named shaun hedges involved as well.

FREE HOOPER!!!

:1orglaugh

this topic needs a bump

Heres an easy solution... Chances are the same people that fell for the spyware will also fall for any new spyware type stuff you offer them..

Well just give them a free copy of a spyware killer along with the porn .

You make a little text box and make it on a timer to enter the words vulnerable , then make a fake test that makes them think they are vulnerable , then prompt them to install a good spyware killer..

If anyone wants a custom exe built to kill other spyware, ( and a secret on how to install it without the user knowing ) let me know

exactly

if thats true it sucks:321GFY

these are really dirty tricks :(

:ak47:

see sig

Why are there always a few retarded people who try to spam their shit in threads like this?

sigwhores sigwhores sigwhores :)

Don't you just hate that! FUCK! I hate that shit!
He probably doesn't even have a clue whats happening

It?s look like it will be up to the programmers what they are able to do to get the customers and not up to the content you have on the site.
Maybe should get more programmers rather than good shooters:warning

Dude... do you have any idea what you're talking about? I have an anti virus running and regularly scan for scumware, spyware and adware with two separate programs? I have been online since the internet was created so i'm not a surfing idiot. The reality is you get blasted with bullshit when you go to one of their galleries and it installs all kinds of shit on your computer. It installed 18 modifications to my registry and tried to change my home page. That is not falling for something. I wasn't given the option to deny installation of this crap it was just done.

Sad, but true. God knows how hard it can be to get rid of one of these hidden adware proggies! Even for someone who knows what they are doing... :(

Im getting the impression that we should be checking every single link on all pages that carry our affiliate IDs (ie join pages, tours, etc.) and at the same time stick with well known affiliate programs.

Sorry that the posting may be irrelevant but when I visit sites I do not trust I always use my Mozilla Firefox browser (www.mozilla.org) - With it you control everything.

All these drive-by installations are because of weaknesses in Internet Exploder. If an IFRAME tag can bypass the general security settings and trick Explorer into believing that the script that is downloaded from god-knows-where has local permissions (as if it is running from your home machine), then we are talking some serious breach...

And what we see is a lot of people exploiting it, maybe for not so noble purposes. Sad but true...

Never liked those spyware, browser hijacking software offering sites.

i wonder why no reply from them?

It's only 8 am. No one up/at the office yet.

Nasty, who is the owner of MPB?

Andre

charlo barbosa and whitney i believe

they have already been sued by the ftc for this sort of stuff and lost

blahman, where do you get your info from?

I believe you are incorrect...

http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2001/08/pornpics.htm

:)

there is other documents on this case as well

he is shady

the new investigation i believe is the ftc got ahold of their porn toolbar software or something 9 months ago and found trojans in it, so they are forming their investigation now. this spyware stuff probably won't be too good either.

Isnt that ancient news and unrelated?

Just curious.
