Looks like sleazebay has started using some really low bottom feeding techniques to attract new potential customers-- by using spyware installed surreptitiously through downloading software from cracking sites to steer or force folks to their site via pop up ads and hijacking.

Woe unto the Web surfer who visits www.easycracks.net. The site, popular with curious teenagers, offers free code used to unlock bootleg copies of everything from Windows XP to video games.
