Well, presumably the guy is going around trying to drum up publicity for his issue.

I still think it's interesting.

As I recall, Alex was angry about the codec trick.

I'm a little uncertain exactly what is supposed to be done about this, tho.

I don't doubt the scumware assholes are fucking things up for the average legitimate adult small businessman.

I'm still looking for the best ways to deal with it - because I tend to think appealing to the sponsors is likely to be a waste of time. They'll kill the account and happily let the installers sign up again. Pretty much the same with the hosts.

yeah I agree it's interesting, and it's not zango

I think the only way to get this shit under control is to get the proper authorites to form a task force and ban these crooks from ever owning a domain, but I'am sure that will never happen cause the other countries where these people live will not do anything about it...

so if there's a safe haven for terrorists then I am sure there's one for internet crooks

I think all this spyware torjens and scumware is gonna kill us lower traffic webmasters down the road as when people get tried of paying to have there drives reformated more will quit surfing porn and buying, and that will lead to less sales

some could say that porn is like drugs, so if a drug user gets beat up most of the time looking for his fix, how long before he quits looking

plus how many times have you heard people say "if you surf porn your pc will get fucked up" LOL
