Thank you for getting back to me. On rare occasions, we have affiliates that will break the terms of the affiliate agreement they sign when becoming an affiliate. When this happens, we promptly ban the affiliate and they can no longer run traffic to our site. The affiliate listed in your link above (400748) has been banned from running traffic since February 3rd, 2016 because they ran a SPAM campaign. We do not tolerate this. I will also post the language in our affiliate agreement related to this so you can see that we do not allow it. MalwareBytes also has an affiliate program and I am sure there are occasions where you must ban an affiliate for going against the terms and conditions. When they do this, it is not the fault of MalwareBytes and the only thing you can do is remove them from the program as soon as you become aware of the violation. As such, please reconsider your position as we banned the affiliate running the above SPAM months ago.
Thank you,
-Steve
