Protection against Scumware...there is a Cure!


Thanks to the hard work and combined efforts of many webmasters and administrators, the fight against scumware and theftware continues. With each new device invented to infringe upon the rights of business web sites, these code warriors work diligently on a way to stop them.


Scumware, SearchKing, SgtSearch and Thiefware are among the long list of avid champions in promoting fair business practices on the Internet.


We fully support their efforts and appreciate the endless hours they spend in exposing these unethical practices and developing solutions to protect honest websites.


To show you an example of how this will look in your code:



<html>
<head>
<title>YOUR NORMAL TAGS</title>
<meta name>
<meta name>v <meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="TRUE">
(( this is the tag to prevent Smart Tags ))v <meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no"> v (( this is the tag to prevent IE 6 from easily snagging your images ))

<!–– StopText code courtesy SgtSearch.com and Thiefware.com ––> <style type="text/css"><!–– span {font-size:1px} ––></style> <!–– Stop here and insert into your site head tags –>
(( SgtSearch code to stop Ezula use of CSS/VB/DHTML ))
</head>
<body>

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="http://www.searchking.com/servlet/ezulafix"></SCRIPT>
(( this is the tag to identify eZula ))
