- What is a parasite? What is your policy regarding parasites?
"Parasites" are known as "unsolicited commercial software" that intercept and change
an affiliate’s link. It is the technology that is often found in Adware and Spyware.
Parasite activity will take an affiliate’s link and redirects the affiliate’s commission
to the parasite. They are normally installed without the user’s knowledge or consent.
Some useful information on parasites and what to do if you pick one up can be found
at doxdesk.com
It is our goal to make sure you’re working in a parasite-free environment and, as
such, if we determine any of our affiliates are parasites, they will be immediately
inactivated and banned from the program. Please contact us if you believe one of
our affiliates may be a parasite.
