As I've mentioned in a couple prior posts, I have a video on hand showing Ebates Moe Money Maker software installed through security holes. I am now releasing this video to the public. My video and write-up are at the following page:

[/i]Video: Ebates Installed through Security Holes[/i]

For those watching the video: After I get infected (first couple minutes), there's some dull material as I browse the new programs installed through security holes. Ebates' directory and files are shown in the final ten seconds of the video.

Comments welcomed.

I wonder: What will the networks do? Now there's clear proof that 1) Ebates sometimes is installed without notice and consent, and 2) Ebates sometimes violates network policies (CoC and Addendum) as to overwriting other affiliates' cookies. Will the networks look the other way? Grant time for correction? Or take decisive action to see that merchants don't pay ill-gotten commissions?

Feel free to cross-post to other forums as appropriate.
