Hounded by Spyware Charges, DirectRevenue Shuts Down

Robert McMillan writes on InfoWorld:

Notorious adware maker DirectRevenue has closed shop.

The company, which was recently doing business as Best Offers, gave no reason for its sudden closure, which was announced on its Web site. "Best Offers and Direct Revenue have ceased operations. To service legacy consumers, we are maintaining this page of uninstall instructions, an uninstall software tool, and an e-mail based support service."

E-mail sent to the Gmail address listed on the company's Web site was returned as undeliverable.
