More on WinFixer and ValueClick

Landing on "gaylovetwinks(dot)com" we find yet another adult site that generates it's revenue from linking to known Trojan.Codec sites. What is disturbing is again we find the WinFixer gang (Warning banner for go.sexprofit link) involved with this type activity.

What's even worse ... is when the McAfee SiteAdvisor bot scanned the same site we find another connection between WinFixer (drivecleaner and winantispyware) and ValueClick (mediaplex.com) ... so there is no doubt ValueClick has associated itself with some rather dubious characters ...

Given the nature of the above depicted images of underage boys, it really makes you wonder what ValueClick is thinking. Are things so bad that (supposedly) mainstream advertisers need to generate revenue this way?
