Spyware is a serious problem to all users of the Internet. Spyware is software that malicious people secretly install on a computer for the purpose of recording user behavior and/or displaying unwanted advertising. Some spyware (known as scumware or parasiteware) also overwrites affiliate links on websites with the affiliate ID of the spyware's owner. The stolen commissions, popups and altering of their sites have frustrated webmasters for years. Now there is a way to help stop the abuse and fight back.
