Spyware Stormer

Click for full size
More ads that want you to install their software and remove "spyware". This one doesn't even look obvious to first timers. No obnoxious bouncing or flashing lights. A good look alike picture of a dialog box.

Clicking on the image (not this one, the one as seen as an ad in a web page) takes you to spywarestormer.com

Thanks for posting that. Do you recall where you encountered that advertisement? Got a URL you could point us to? I ask because the information could be very useful.

Thanks,

Eric L. Howes

It was the ad at the top of this webpage: »mindbluff.com/askchess.htm I found this page in the Cool Broadband Links.

It is the advertiser that is showing the ad.

Location of image: »isg03.casalemedia.com/V2/39112/3···rmer.gif

When you click on the image, it takes you to »c.casalemedia.com/c?f=2&id=1&url···&c=39112 which redirects to spywarestormer.com

I alerted my computer club to this one two weeks ago. Another of the dozens of bogus apps that is not to be trusted is Paretologic's XoftSpy. Unfortunately, at least one of the club members thinks it's a safe product.

There is some info about Casale Media and SpywareStormer here:

»www.spywarewarrior.com/viewtopic···t=casale

and

»www.webhelper4u.com/scams/spywar···mer.html

Webhelper connected Casale Media with Walt "picklejar" Rines, but I'm not sure if the basis for that was confirmed.
