Title: Adware Post by: ZacQuicksilver on July 14, 2008, 07:22:52 PM Is there any reason you shouldn't run Adware on your own server? it seems like a good source of HPD, at low risk.

At least if your active. Adware will use up your BW which means you will upload and download slower.

1) Running Adware on yourself is a way to get a secure stream of money 2) It will eat up bandwidth 3) You do need an appropriate antivirus to remove it 4) Running said antivirus will delete it: Don't use the only copy of your best virus. If you take all of that into account, go ahead. I highly suggest it for long periods of inactivity, but not for normal use. I might even consider it for overnight use if there was an easy way to make copies: load it before bed, delete it when I log on in the morning, and collect 6-10 hours of profits. However, the bandwidth required to copy is better spent uploading Adware to foreign servers.

If you are a gold member then you only use BW for uploading to the FTP server. Downloading from it is instant. |
