<b>Stealware</b> is a piece of <a href="Computer software">software</a> that comes (with some <a href="Peer-to-peer">p2p</a> programs) in and checks if the store you're buying from has an affiliate system that the P2P software vendor is using. If so, software simply replaces the existing affiliate <a href="Cookie">Cookie</a> on your <a href="Browser">Browser</a> with its own cookie. This means that if you want to support purchase books, software, <a href="Hardware">Hardware</a>, etc using the newegg.com links or other similar links on a <a href="Website">Website</a>, the small commission money actually goes to <a href="Kazaa">Kazaa</a>, <a href="Morpheus">Morpheus</a>, <a href="BearShare">BearShare</a> or <a href="LimeWire">LimeWire</a> instead of the website you are on. Same applies to all sites in the world -- also by other organizations who try to raise money by affiliate programs, etc. <h2 style="margin: 0; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.17em; border-bottom: 1px solid #aaaaaa; font-size: 150%;">External links</h2>http://www.spyware.co.uk/stealware.shtml reference
