They do this by using shady practices that would make you cringe. Here is the clause in our <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.avantlink.com/terms_and_conditions.php" rel="nofollow">Terms of Use for Affiliates</a> that protect you from these rogue Affiliate activities: "Technology or software that knowingly or unknowingly undermines another Affiliate's tracking capability by altering, intercepting or redirecting an Affiliate link is strictly prohibited. The installation of ANY third party application, knowingly or unknowingly by the end user, by an Affiliate of the Network, will result in the immediate termination of that Affiliate account."
