    @jaydee888: The member with the ID makebig is a free member, so he can't send messages to other members using our system. So I assume he must have spammed you through his own ISP (Gmail.com). In that case I recommend to complain to that ISP (check the headers of the spam email you received) if he doesn't provide an unsubscribe link.

    @PepiMK: What is the current status of removing ViralURL that is still falsely listed in SpyBot?

    Are you saying we got listed because some thought the name looked scary? The service we are offering is 100% legal and legitimate.

    I can tell by your comments that you don't seem to know very much about the problems associated with affiliate marketing and that cloaking links is to protect the affiliate, not to cause harm to the person clicking on a cloaked link.

    Are you saying it's immoral to protect the interests of affiliates and internet marketers?


    Please let me know the status and how much longer your company will need to remove that one URL from your database.

    If there is a reason to keep us in that database, I would like to know the exact reason for it.

    Thank you for your cooperation in finding a quick solution to this already way too old problem.

    Hello,

    It is not falsely listed as you can see if you have a look at Yodamas september post.

    Anyway.... if you would like to have an official review feel free to e-mail to:
    reviews(at)spybot.info

    We will not discuss this any further in our forum.

    Best regards

    Hello Sandra,

    Yodamas posted in November that it's being reviewed... any updates? It's almost May now and it would be great if we could stop telling our 46,000+ members to stay away from SpyBot.

    Best regards,

    PS: For all of our valued ViralURL members reading this, Sandra just replied via email to another member of ours:

    Please open the Tools menu in your Internet Explorer and choose 'Spybot - Search Destroy Configuration'.
    There you will find a drop down menu where you should select "Ask for blocking confirmation".

    If you want to visit a blocked website choose "Allow". Hope this solves the problem.
    If this doesn't work please run Spybot-S&D and select "Spybot-S&D" --> "Immunize" in the navigation bar on the left. Please hit "Undo".
    Then run Spybot - Search & Destroy and switch to the Advanced mode via the menu item Mode.
    Now select 'Tools' - 'Resident' from the navigation bar on the left.
    Please untick the checkbox in front of the 'SdHelper'.

    Please don't make comment anymore on this issue.
    As Sandra already stated the detection on this will not change.
    If you do not see what may be wrong with your kind of marketing there is no room for further discussion.
