Scumware: A New Threat

By Steven Rothberg

As if the falling tech stock market and resulting failure of hundreds of high-profile dot-coms weren't enough, now comes word of a new scourge: scumware.

Scumware refers to programs that overlay text links from advertisers on your Web site without your permission.

Some organizations, such as Microsoft, believe that scumware will benefit consumers by allowing them to click on virtually any word on any Web site to read related content on or off that site.

Scourge, Not Solution

In theory, that sounds great. In practice, scumware poses a grave threat to publishers, advertisers and other users of the Internet.

Microsoft had planned to include SmartTags in the next version of its operating system, Windows XP. I am no enemy of Microsoft and look forward to its new operating system, especially because it relented to public pressure and agreed to remove SmartTags from Windows XP.

Although SmartTags now present no immediate worry, other products already on the market do essentially the same thing.

TopText, which is made by eZula, is hidden in a Napsterlike file-sharing tool called KaZaa. According to CNET's Download.com, almost 8 million people have downloaded KaZaa. When they start to use it, TopText modifies their browsers.

The result? When they visit your Web site, TopText modifies your Web page without your permission by highlighting in yellow all the keywords eZula has sold. Advertisers pay per click for the keywords. How much of that advertising revenue does eZula plan to share with you? Not a penny.

Altered Status

When eZula alters your Web site without your permission, it can have detrimental effects for you. One is loss of your visitors to your competition, after they click on any of the dozens or hundreds of hyperlinks eZula adds to each page of your site. Another is loss of sales when your customers are diverted to other sites. And still another is loss of commissions when your visitors are diverted to other sites before they have the chance to click on your affiliate links.

For those who aren't convinced about the magnitude of the threat posed by scumware, let's walk through a few examples.

Suppose a job-seeking college student went to CollegeRecruiter.com to search our job openings and post a resume to our resume bank. Because KaZaa has been downloaded and installed, the student's browser has been modified by TopText and many of the words on our home page and the other 600 pages on our site appear as hyperlinks. The word resume is hyperlinked and the student clicks on it.

The result? The student is taken to our competitor's Web site because the competitor purchased the word resume from eZula, the maker of KaZaa and TopText.

How about another example? The same student is drinking a can of Pepsi and sees some text on the can that urges a visit to Pepsiworld, Pepsi's Web site. On the home page, the word cola is hyperlinked. A click on it and the student is taken to a competitor of Pepsi. The result? Pepsi, against its will, has driven traffic and possibly a new customer to its competitor.

Now, how about something dangerous? Suppose your 12-year-old is using the U.S. government's National Institutes of Health Web site to help her with a research paper on breast cancer. She notices the word breast is hyperlinked, clicks on it, and is taken to a Web site run by a pedophile. Scary? You bet.

Scumware, although a technical innovation, is one I can definitely do without. As outlined by Sunil Tanna, self-proclaimed marketing geek, we should stand against scumware using the following legal and ethical means.

Don't install eZula or other scumware onto your computer. To remove it, go to WhirlyWiryWeb.com.

Exert pressure on companies that manufacture, advertise through, or promote scumware. Companies that manufacture scumware include eZula, Microsoft and Surf+. Companies that promote scumware include BeFree, which manages the Gator.com affiliate program, and CNET, which runs Download.com.

Discuss with an intellectual property attorney the possibility of suing one or more of the companies that manufacture or promote scumware.

Modify your Web site content so that you do not use keywords that have been purchased by companies using scumware as an advertising vehicle.

Contact your local and national elected officials and governmental agencies to complain.

Educate everyone you know who uses the Internet about this issue.
