Webhelper Alert! KMGI SOFTWARE AIDS THE INSTALLATIONS OF ADWARE

Install your free 30 day trial copy and get the Twaintech Transponder variant installed as well!

The following is owned by KMGI.com and their ad service and security software should not be used as they support the Transponder Gang in the installation of the transponder adware.

Screen shot and details are now on my site.

This has been a Webhelper Transponder Alert!

Standard cheap popupblocker and spam eliminator. The bottom line is not how it is but that they allow their software to be used by the VX2/BetterIntenret/Twaintech,etc. Transponder Gang to secretly install their adware that will collect the users personal info and also use their offeroptimizer ad server to foist popup ads on the users computer from coke, aol, to porn.

I consider any software(especially security software), web sites, online advertisers, and individuals that pay the Transponder Gang or allow use of their products or services directly or indirectly for the main purpose of installing adware/trackware/ and spyware that the Internet users should make the choice not to visit those sites, pay or use their services and/or products until they sever their connections with the Transponder Gang.

The software is installed with adware at one site, how are you to know the company selling it will not let others install more adware, spyware as well. THE SOFTWARE IS TAINTED..

This has been a Webhelper Rant!

First, I don't want you to take my last reply as something aimed at you. There are certain times that when something hits me I go into a rant. I will be putting together a sites list that on the one hand sell security software and on the other hand at other sites they own install adware/spyware. These are the ones I want known to the masses of Internet users so they will know who not to visit or buy from. If the business cannot make money selling their products or services, they will either change for the better or they will close down their sites.

I am constantly monitoring certain sites where programmer bid for contract jobs to create software for businesses and there are quite a few that want fast, cheap security software created that will not work until users pay for it. This is unacceptable for the questio then is who is keeping it up to date and how are they going to support their customers to insure they have a secure Internet inviornment.

Anyway, it is safe to go to kmgi.com and there read about how they market targeted advertising to clients and have their links to the same type of software that is supposed to prevent what they market.

This is a despicable business practice.

This is not simply providing a filthy needle.
This is deliberately loading it with toxins,
and sweetly advertising it for innocent victims to inject themselves.
Why is this allowed?

It is not forbidden.

Waiting to see what sparks fly at the FTC Spyware conference tomorrow. Wink
