Spyware purveyor DirectRevenue closes down Published: 2007-10-25
DirectRevenue, a COMPANY that made tens of MILLIONS of dollars pushing ads onto compromised computers, CLOSED its doors this week, nearly four months after the Federal Trade Commission levied a $1.5 million fine against the firm.
According to a message POSTED to its Web site, DirectRevenue and its subsidiary Best Offers "have ceased operations." The company left behind a single page of instructions to allow victims to uninstall its software and an e-mail address that appeared not to be valid. The company gave no REASON for its closure.
