Agent 99 is our proprietary adware and spyware policing solution. Engineered to prevent fraudulent affiliate activity and deliver genuine incremental sales value to our merchants.
Unscrupulous individuals or companies hijack other affiliates commissions and claim them as their own using Spyware. Once Spyware software has been installed onto a computer (accidentally through non-consensual downloads) it will serve to hijack traffic with a view to securing revenue for the spyware vendor. All sales from that PC, that might previously have been considered direct traffic or been tracked and attributed to a legitimate affiliate, can now be hijacked and attributed to the spyware affiliate. This can be through a variety of means including pop-ups, cookie stuffing and non essential re-directs.
It is our responsibility to attract and keep the best and most effective affiliates in order for us to encourage them to work with the merchants on the Digital Window network. Agent99 uniquely helps us offer that security and peace of mind to our merchant and affiliate partners by automatically scenario testing a variety of Spyware and Adware installations to identify illegal affiliate activity.
Digital Window operates a zero tolerance policy for any software that seeks to re-direct a merchants traffic for an illegal commission.
