Notorious Spyware Distributor Shuts Down
DirectRevenue/Best Offers, a company notorious for using underhanded tactics to get its spyware on millions of computers, has gone out of business. The company was also known for its use of aggressive pop up ads. Last February the company was fined over a million dollars by the FTC for its shady practices. Company officials haven't commented officially, but visitors to Direct Revenue's website are greeted with the following message:
Best Offers and Direct Revenue have ceased operations. To service legacy consumers we are maintaining this page of uninstall instructions, an uninstall software tool, and an email based support service.
Score one for the good guys!
