Exclusive: AdwareReport Uncovers Exact Advertising Distribution Partners

Spyware Researchers at AdwareReport today uncovered a cache of installer programs designed to place spyware and adware on consumers computers. These programs are ostensibly meant to be distributed by partners of eXact Advertising, which include such well known companies as TuCows, Shareware.com, and PartyPoker.com. The programs also include explicit pornography clips which install the eXact Advertising family of spyware and adware.

We advise readers to be very wary of these sites.

A partial list of distribution partners follows:
