STOP SPYWARE - FIGHT BACK WITH YOUR WALLET
http://www.anyspyware.com/stop-spyware.html

A simple idea I had, just let as many people possible know - spyware runs on money spent, and popups clicked. If we make a conscious stand to not click 
ads, not buy their dubious spyware products and goods advertised through a hijacked PC.. their money will run out as advertisers see a drastic shift AWAY 
from purchases through some affiliate systems.

Natural selection will take over, and only the GOOD will survive. Anyone hijacking your PC won't get paid, because hijacking a PC will become so taboo, 
no advertiser wants to touch those affiliates again.

Its worth a shot. :)


Requesting ideas ! send them in..

I've put up small articles this week, one www.anyspyware.com/about-spyware.html, one www.anyspyware.com/trojan-types.html and some more. Droppers article 
was updated and CRACKS IN KEYGENS (http://www.anyspyware.com/trojan-crack-keygen.html) was put online with a great link to a video. Watch as a PC is 
infested alive within a few minutes viewing. The number of things downloaded is shown, and it's a LOT (you'll see PHP files being downloaded which are 
actually .EXE and .DLL trojans, along with a .SYS driver. There is also a link to the screenshot of that rootkit hiding a whole load of adware.


Ideas for articles or specific spyware to investigate would be great.. an idea I have is put up the HIJACKTHIS log of anyone who is infected, and show 
the nasties found and how it was cleaned. All it takes is someone infected to send back files, do a cleanup and get back to me with how they went and 
I'll make a page about it.

Article feedback - feedback@anyspyware.com
