Hi Folks
I read on Jim's Get High Forum a message which you might find of
interest. I guess this "thing" might affect the affiliate marketing.

"There is a new file sharing system launched in the wake of the MP3
sharing/stealing war, and the new system is called KaZaa. You download
it, install it and get right back to sharing bootleg music files. KaZaa
claims that almost 6 million people have downloaded and installed its
system.
Unfortunately when you install KaZaa you also get a virus installed on
your computer. I call it a virus because by most descriptions I've seen
of the term, TopText qualifies as a virus. You don't ask for it. It
takes control of your browser and makes changes to everything you read
on the Internet.
TopText operates with a browser to highlight words on every web page,
inserting a yellow background behind keywords that have been purchased
through their media sales company eZula, Inc. If a web user clicks on
one of those yellow highlighted words on a web page, the user is whisked
away to the site of the company paying the most that day for each
click-through. If a user whose browser is infected with TopText visits
your web site, they will be offered links to competitor's web sites for
every keyword they find on your site for which they have a buyer."

And it seems that on many other forums people are busy too in discussing
the matter of the software called KaZaa.
Here are few threads for your info:

I wish to ask whether any of you can share with us related resources,
and maybe in other languages than English too.
All the best,
