Is it implying my site is spyware?
What is it?

[drivetowin]

No Mogga

What it's saying is that your site is one of those targetted by that particular piece of adware - so anyone with that piece of adware installed who tries to go to your site (or any others of those listed) gets redirected somewhere else.

That page on the Symantec site is showing you what Adware.Affilred does..

Oh right - ta - well its almost flattering I spose.

Cheers


So ........... My site deals with UK traffic which means UK networks - so does this mean that a company/adware affiliate is using those UK networks.
Has anyone got it installed and which networks are working with them?

SO which *&%^%^ is stealing my traffic and my money?
