"many adware are also spyware" "if it steals from me" See, now you're just contradicting yourself. Is it ALL illegal and harmful or not? And for you and the others wanting names... I'll tell you what, lose this "they are all scum" attitude and perhaps a name would be worth something. But since you all seem to think that even yahoo and google are stealing your ref codes, the only thing a name would do is give you someone else to hate on, and that's not the reason we do business with people. |

If there are adware applications that fully disclose the download and ask for a physical click to say "ok", they don't steal sales, they don't corrupt computers, they don't come bundled with a bunch of other programs, and all they do is show an occasional ad (not dozens per day), that in my view would be adware and I wouldn't have a problem with it. If you can name one like that, I'm all ears.... Quote:

Will76 / Missie, did you download and install spyware from a p2p network and assume that we were distributing it?
I'm just curious if you have a personal issue here or if you're just fighting the good fight? |

DH, allow me to paint you an ugly picture.
You send traffic to AAC, correct? Now imagine if 10% of the surfers you sent to them had this "legitimate LEGAL adware" installed on their computers and you didn't credit for the sale. How would that make you feel DH? I realize you're in the business of selling traffic so it doesn't mean very much to you. Which is reason enough for me to stop buying traffic from you. I officially have 0 respect for you man. That says a lot, especially since yesterday I had the utmost respect for you. I certainly hope you reconsider and stop laughing it up over there with your scumware buddies. Thankfully all of the sponsors I do business with have measures in place to prevent any loss of sales on my end.

Every time I got infected with spyware was because of an illegal download. Never installed once of those things on purpose. Some have been from porn sites, others came from who knows where, can't remember. Spyware has affected my relatives' computers, my friends' computers and has made my life a miserable hell trying to get rid of it.
I haven't had spyware problems for over a year. Illegal/silent downloads are automatically blocked. If in your eyes that's a personal issue, then I guess it's personal. I don't like anything that fucks up my computer or the computer of people close to me, especially when I'm the one who has to go fix it. And I especially don't like people or programs that help people steal from me. Missie

just my 2 cents.. there is no such thing as a legit install.
if i was ever a target of someone trying divert traffic away from my company from a "legit install" i would definatley seek immediate legal action against ALL, and WHOMEVER was/is involved. I would spend my last dollar going after them even if it meant recouping nothing at all. Duke

You grow a business that soon dominates the market and then one day decide to fuck over all your valued customers. What a tool. GTS buyers should file a class-action lawsuit and bankrupt his fat ass.

StuartD, do you promote install affiliate programs? Do you use "adware" to advertise?

A question:
Lets say an installer changes affiliate codes, and credits whoever consigned the install software. This of course, is detrimental to affiliates, having a smaller impact on cash programs other than those affiliates not promoting them anymore. Let's take it one step further: Let's say I have my own cash program. What is preventing me from having an installer change an entire signup link to my cash program's signup page? For instance: If my cash program is www.agentcash.com" What is preventing me from having the installer change http://signups.nastydollars.com/?revcode=ffmovies to: http://signups.agentcash.com/?revcode=agent ... thereby robbing nastydollars of a signup? |

If the product is free and there is a commission for the install, there is a reason for it - not necessarily bad mind you, but... in most cases it is. Many have called the new google toolbar spyware. It doesn't bombarb you with popups, it doesn't steal commissions, but it knows an awful lot about you... is it spyware? A lot would argue that point and there are many on each side of the fence.

Interesting comment from another adware guy

So if you clicked on nastydollars.com/yourid the program would recognize nastydollars.com as the targeted URL and would automatically redirect the surfer to agentcash.com and the surfer would never even see the nastydollars site. As Kellie explained, these spyware programs don't change/alter/modify links or cookies. They help affiliates do that via forced clicks or redirecting surfers to another site. Missie

There's loads of stuff out there that is legal but still shady, deceptive or just plain wrong. We can all agree to that, right? I'm not saying the installers that buy your traffic are doing such a thing. I'm just saying that such a thing does exist. Stuart, I'm honestly curious to know how you'd feel if you found out that one of the legals installs that P2PAds helps spread was swapping out ref codes, forcibly changing home pages and performing other legal but malicious activities. And how would you feel if such activities were responsible for you losing sales? I'm asking this not as an accusation, because no one has posted any proof that any of the installs that P2PAds distributes are malicious. I'm asking this as a fellow webmaster, one who respects your opinion and one who respects Mark, GTS and P2PAds.

I said this before - but how are you sure about the installs? do you test them in every timezone, country, etc?
I've heard of situations where installs are good when you test them out for your location - but actually they block your ip range and install bad shit where your not looking

DH...even though you know you are right this is a no win agument with the morons who populate this forum.....this has gone on many times before with disasterous results.....just ask Epiccash.....even though many people still promote webmaster direct...they became the poster child for the installs and it turned into a circus.....
