Among a slew of online cybercrime forums, Pay-Per-Install.org stands out as a malware flea market where shadowy pushers of Trojan downloaders and tools for evading detection are bargaining with thousands of would-be "affiliates" willing to compromise victims' computers globally and get paid for it.

Pondus :thumbsup: to B/C and thanks for the web site. Just had a thought. If some one with the know with all could miss direct the payments to a American charity, (Salvation Army or may be the U.S.O.) the money would do some good but would surly put the stops to it after a short time when the check isn't in the mail for the bad guys.
