Re: All Advantage Spyware

[Justin Lintz <jlintz () OPTONLINE NET>]

I dont know if you would call it spyware because basically the whole idea
surrounding all advantage is to track what ads you click on the bar and how
long you have your web browser open and are surfing.  In order for the
program to track that information I couldn't see why it should not be able
to do that,  I think most people who run all advantage should realize that
their web behavior is probably being tracked but its in order for them to
get the cash from All Advantage.

Attention AllAdvantage Users:

It has come to my attention, that All Advantage corp. 's software for
surfing the net for money, has some dll files that do some interesting
things.
They are detailed in this text file, written by acecww,
http://home.cyberarmy.com/acecww/advert.txt , please read it, it shows
many things, such as screwing with the registery, and unregistering
dll's, replacing the code, then when your browser closes, putting
everything back to the way it was. Anyone else have any comments,
questions, or just plain outrage, please reply to this email.
