Does Sextracker install spyware?

Very clever too ... I dont know how they do it, but I have had to reformat Harddrives for multiple PC's to get rid of their trojans. cant get rid of it with the spyware programs I use.

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!

Georige, I agree. When I visit my sites that have sextracker and turn off my firewall , I don't get anything on my computer except a cookie installed when I run a spyware check.
I haven't had anything installed from them on my computer. Anyone have more proof?

PULLLEEASE.... what are you saying? Meat's detailled rundown wasn't convincing because your spyware checker bell didnt go off!

Presumably no-ones spyware checker went off and if sextracker distributed their trojans for years though their counter it also slipped past 100's of experienced webmasters too.

There is a couple of really interesting threads on Oprano where a bunch of allegedly ex-sextracker people dish up bucketloads of dirt, about what they say was done, thats worth reading.


Is anyone trustworthy on the job to setup an open source counter product webmasters can trust now?.. Sounds like enough people want them still.. If Netpond (or anyone actively helping stop sextracker) setup one today... I'd add it to my sites simply to support the cause.

If big companies decide the easy money is over and they are going to rape and pilliage the market on way out back door for Brazil.. affiliate webmasters may as well all concentrate on Ebay as Adult income wise for 2006.

Can someone who knows for certain all the right names, please post a list of all sextracker affiliated counter domains?

If your lawyer wants to get in touch with mine, I would be happy to give you what you need.

Meat has a lot more on them than me though, and his lawyer has a shit load more than mine.
