Had an interesting thought while I was checking my PPC accounts at Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. |goodidea
If an infected surfer go to say Google and searches for online dating, and this thiefware pops a console in front of the results. So if the surfer clicks on the popup, Google will show an ad impression, my CTR will drop, and Google doesn't collect any PPC $$$.
Jim mentioned
David vs. Goliath in one of his posts. I wonder what the effect would be if a bunch of us people doing PPC started hammering their reps over this thiefware stealing huge money from the SEs.
Hell, we might even be able to get M$ to do a custom patch to rip this shitware out of the surfers computers.
