UPDATE Not many new domains to report which I can trace to the initial group of cheaters, but several other disturbing issues - so read on!

One domain I think I missed:

ultimate-pics.net

Then I found final confirmation that the URLs I listed above in cursive are in fact all cheating along similar lines: all use the same dialer pop-up hell and the re-directs are not discovered by a normal linkbot. I still haven't found proof if they belong to the same group of cheaters who initiated this thread. One thing they have in common are registrations to fantasy companies or institutions (I found one registered to a 'family law court', one to a 'child care facility', and a few more to 'insurances'):

teenages18.com
yourteenages.com
teeniedreams.net
smut-orgy.com
seetheporn.com
wifeinaction.com

NS1.XTRAFF.COM
NS2.XTRAFF.COM

After battling with it for almost two weeks I finally discovered a tool to remove the spyware trojan. If your webbrowser is redirected to global-finder.com or CoolWebSearch or any other search page (almost always with the account number 101 - so the link would be global-finder.com ?101) then this little piece of software gets rid of this (adaware and spybot doesn't!).

Another rather disturbing fact:
despite being in my AGP blacklist new submissions from these cheaters appear daily in my submissions!
So if you're using AGP don't be fooled into the wrong piece of mind that you have them covered with your blacklist. Either there's a bug in AGPs blacklist or these guys are using an autosubmitter which circumvents the blacklist checker! I have contacted JMB today about this (and wonder if they will do anything about it)...

Enjoy the rest of the weekend! G.
