Hi

I am seeing a lot of posts referring to Click.GiftLoad. A search at the Internet gives me the impression, that the concept originates from Spybot S&D. I haven't been able to find a definition of the concept.
What is a Click.GiftLoad?

Hello,

Click.GiftLoad gets promoted via spam.
Once executed it runs in background to have the computer connect to many websites in background and produce adclicks.

Best regards

Also, Click.Giftload often appears with a TDL variant. (google redirect, rootkit)
