Alert your viewers about spyware
with our spyware detection script!
Help us raise awareness of the problems of spyware by alerting
your website visitors if they have spyware installed on
their computers. If we can alert consumers to this problem
it will benefit all of us as a whole. Only through awareness
will it be possible to eventually stop these unethical marketing
practices. If you would like to help us simply add the following
remote script to your web site which will alert your viewers
and visitors if they have spyware installed on their computers.
<script language="JavaScript"
src="http://www.unwantedlinks.com/parasite/parasite3.js">
</script>
This script can be placed anywhere in the body of your
site and remains totally invisible unless it detects at
least one of several browser based spyware plug-ins (including
TopText). Therefore, the spyware alert will only be viewable
to those viewers who have at least one of the identified
spyware programs installed at which point it will display
an simple text alert letting them know about it. Our script
can currently identify 124 different spyware programs. (

Or feel free to use a copy of our spyware quotes script
to help raise awareness which appears in our left panel
<script language="JavaScript"
src="http://www.unwantedlinks.com/spywarequotes-feed.js"
type="text/JavaScript"></script>
This script will feed one quote at the exact location it
is placed within your site. It rotates a total of 30 random
spyware quotes. (This script will display additional random
quotes if it is included more than once) You can enclose
it in font tags to match your site text.
Here is a sample of how it looks.

Now here is an interesting story about the filp side of spam
filters. I guess from now on when establishing a new client
or marketing account businesses and web sites will need to
remind their new customers to add them to the "approved"
mailing settings!
SPAM FILTERS ARE CRIPPLING EZINES
By Bob McElwain
The growing use of software to filter incoming email to an
ISP has added an unanswerable question: How many subscribers
receive your ezine. For several years now, I've ignored subscriber
list totals. The data is fuzzy when you look at numbers held,
numbers not delivered, and so forth. I track only the number
of successful deliveries. However, this number is now much
less meaningful.
Many (most?) ISPs have installed email filters to block spam
and that other stuff I can't mention for fear of being blocked.
If those filters bounced back to the mailing service, the
addresses could be eliminated. Most are only trashed into
the big black hole of cyberspace. So there's no telling how
many don't get through.
