That being said, I wouldn't have a problem directing surfers to a page that links to SS&D.

The problem is that Jim (and I) don't even want to appear that we're making money off of this, so by sending them to a program that costs money, it'd come off as a scam.

Getting rid of it isn't that much of a prob, and blocking the IP
for the actual download isn't that hard either, block 66.152.93.119
with your firewall and you'll never get the XXXtoolbar, block
216.130.187.150 and you'll never get the isearch toolbar for example..

When Zango was LoudCash before 180Solutions bought
them U.S. prosecutors charged Jeanson James Ancheta of
Los Angeles,as well as an unnamed co-conspirator,that they
used a botnet to disseminate and install adware from
two firms: Loudcash and Gammacash!
Enter once again Gammacash!!!

I certainly understand you folks not wanting to come off as trying to make $$$ off of this. The Spybot thing is freeware and I'm sure others are also. There is a donation page on the SS&D website but it is an option not a mandatory thing. It was just an example I chose to use.

For Mr/Ms Surfer to edit their Registry is kind of scary tho. Heck, when I have done it, it makes me a bit shaky and I started in the computer biz back in '62. 1962 not 1862 a some would have you believe. ha!

Some time, someday someone will come up with a cure. I'm almost positive of that.

I understand the importance of credability in this situation, and I completely agree. It's important to keep the surfer's trust through all this.

But I believe SS&D is free to use and download, though they will accept donations. Tis why I agreed to the use of SS&D.

Would it be possible/easy to have two pages side by side, one that links to a single, suggested program, and one that's completely clean? It should be easy enough to pass a single argument through the url, make it switch between different types of content... but keeping track of that content is more work.

I know I wouldn't have a problem directing surfers to a site that links to SS&D, but I'm sure not everyone feels the same way.

I'm not sure we'd (Jim) would want to do that at this time, but feel free to set it up like that on your own domain.

All we're (Jim) doing is giving people the option to use the page on our server, but you can easily set it up to go to a page on your domain as well

I was just trying to look out for the webmasters who aren't as geeky as me.

But you're right, now that Jim has shown the way, I could easily build my own set up.

I would rather use an own page, easier to keep track of how many it really is then

I send around 6-700/day to my page from my sites

Not that I want to sway anyone away from doing it themselves, but if you use the css option & send it to adwaresucks.com, you can tell how many hit the page each day by how many times the css file was loaded.
