OK - first three tests and this is just with zango installed - no other spyware on this machine - will be trying a second run with some others:
Playboy - pops a console for Freshfaces with a ref ID of 167220 (not mine)
TopBucks - changes the aff code on the exit popup from mine to id=25547
Sunnydollars - loading quite a few sportsbook consoles
This is just the first run - we will be running more tests rotating virtual servers and IPs to check for other aff IDs
We are in the process of installing popupblockerutility, funwebprogram and their other programs and smileycentral to run tests with them

each company that buys with them has the option to supress friendly competition from their target URLs (which is now and has been illegal for years but is still accepted hush-hush from most adware companies) and target keyword lists. if you want anything done about removing yourself, and i say this to everyone, you are better off contacting the advertiser directly and requesting that all keys/urls with your site names in them be supressed (include even specific words that would normally bring up your site on search). back in the day you could right click the pop or switched ad and see who the buyer was under properties. most got wise and dont use their name in the campaign tag now. good luck to all
