Re: SpyAxe -> SpywareStrike

Hi All:

More "wonderful" news from the rogue anti-spyware front: the universally loved SpySheriff has also spawned yet another clone: Spyware-Stop (spyware-stop.com). Screenshots here:

»www.spywarewarrior.com/family_re···s.htm#15

That's rogue family # 15 above. Families #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, and #22 (visible lower on the same page) contain most of the rest of the CWS-related rogue anti-spyware apps

Best,

Eric L. Howes

Whooboy. Have you looked at the whois info for spyware-stop.com? It's good old markus-nullday-ExpDialer.

Which finally confirms the long-suspected link between the SpywareNo/SpySheriff/SpyTropper/SpyDemolisher gang and CWS exploits. (Other than that CWS exploits so often install them.)

expdialer.com/traffcash.com is/was itself a significant CWS affiliate hub from which the exploits were served. So looks like the SpywareNo gang are themselves criminal exploit-installers.

Which isn't like any great surprise or anything of course.

Edit: www.master-x.com/forum/postings/464302 - if the fish's translation is accurate, here's "markus" asking for affiliates to promote Spyware-Stop by all means including unsolicited downloads.
