Branded companies unbranded promotion under spyware practice
Krish | Mar 21 2006

OK. I have a question here. We believe in brand and their values. At least some we do and some don’t. Though we know by our heart that most of the times they are nothing but aggregators and doing nothing but sourcing the stuff from their partners. We still believe in them.



We may believe in a name which produces trousers and we know the are good at their job. Will we trust the same brand or name when it tries to reach us by fair means or foul. Take for example credit card companies.



Ina bid to reach more advertisers, and that too not by mom-pop stores but by significantly valued listed branded companies.




(They)...are helping to fund the virulent spread of unwanted and potentially harmful “adware” by paying for advertisements generated by those programs,







I don%u2019t think they are truly unaware of the practice. They know it pretty well and run it under their noble vision and mission statement.
