Yahoo Search Marketing PPC Ads Found In Spyware With Auto Click Fraud

Apr 5, 2006 - 7:40 am 0 by

Yesterday I reported over at the SEW blog about a Ben Edelman report. Ben Edelman uncovers how some spyware programs have Yahoo Search Marketing ads in them, and auto click on them, without the user's knowledge. You may want to check out his findings for yourself.

Ben is at WebmasterWorld forums, if you have any questions, he will reply to them there.
