Spyware Sucks

A quick search for the domain using various search engines reveals that the site used to have the following text:

“SoftwareProfit – affiliate software application. Earn money with the leading security software WinAntiVirus PRO 2006 and WinAntiSpyware 2006.“

That text is now gone from the URL – maybe because of the FTC lawsuit, which mentions both WinAntiVirus and WinAntiSpyware ;o)
