Australian nation prozac….

I profiled them on my Service a few weeks ago. So members of the Service had access to the information. Merchants and Networks I have frequent contact with because of ongoing relationship, I’ve probably thrown in a heads up during the course of discussing other matters. I’ve not been specifically contacting anyone about it. I just don’t have the time. It’s why I posted something publicly.

“but why on earth aren’t merchants cracking down on this type of thievery? Don’t they realize that they are being stolen from also?”

That answer is probably as varied as merchants. There could be many reasons. The AM/OPM profits, they aren’t aware, they rely on their Network for compliance, the AM did understand all this stuff but then was replaced by someone who doesn’t know and it’s back to square one, AM doesn’t want it but someone higher in the corporate food chain who has no clue about this stuff but only looks at numbers wants to keep the partnership, they don’t have the resources/knowledge to investigate this stuff themselves and the reasons can go on and on. I do think that there are still quite a number of people out there who don’t know about some of the way sales are generated.

Oh this one I think a lot of people just didn’t know. You would have had to do what I did and install the software and known how to check for the bho. I spent about 2 weeks investigating what I posted (well I have more info I didn’t post). But still, it wasn’t something that took me 5 minutes and I’m used to researching this kind of things so I’m probably a bit faster at it. But in my research I didn’t find any other references of Axill having their own adware.

I’m curious as to whether you’ve contacted any of the merchants effected by this and what their response was, if any.

The bigger brands will always attract the nonsense because overall more people shop at bigger brands. That’s why they are bigger brands.
