I'm still not convinced: I haven't seen any evidence that Sextracker itself installs spyware...

Aren't you guys confusing the effects of the "Cool Websearch" trojan with the Sextracker counter code?
It's well know that CWS is triggered when it finds a Sextracker code on the page, and then re-directs the browser and starts an advertising-pop-up hell to porn and casino sites; I documented this in a post here over a year ago... And there are new (and harder to remove) versions of CWS released almost every week!

Edit: all I have had confirmation of is, that by following a particular combination of links to the Sextracker pages, people can get an unwanted dialer installed (without being asked). Bad enough!
