Intresting article from the LA times: - http://www.latimes.com/business/la-f...or9may09.story

Until this month, Commission Junction's 70,000 affiliates included 180Solutions and a firm called Exact Advertising, which makes a "Bargain Buddy" pop-up that has been installed through a security flaw in Web browsers. Bargain Buddy recently carried ads for 1,000 merchants, including Dell Inc., British Airways and Gap Inc. After The Times asked about the practices of Exact Advertising and 180Solutions, Commission Junction said it was going to stop doing business with both.

This doesn't quite tie in with what CJ told me over two months ago that using 180 was against the Code of Conduct (link). Although I've asked a few times this has never been publicly announced to publishers so people are probably still using them without knowing its agains the COC.
