Haven't heard the Vista OS doing such a thing. But have heard of spywares that remove your affiliate ids when someone clicks on them - and uses their own affiliate ids instead.

Mostly - these spywares only focus on the bigger affiliate networks: clickbank, cj, linkshare, amazon.

And usually - the buyer isn't even aware of the spyware on his computer... maybe there is a spyware on this person's computer - but he doesn't know it and so is blaming the OS.

You should ask him to run a software like Ad Aware to clean his computer.

Thank you Ankesh,

I have sent an email to the customer and await reply. That sounds more like what happened then the OS stripping the URL. But you never know until you ask around. :) Thanks for the info. I use Ad Aware all the time and never gave it a thought. :)

As far as I can tell this only happened to this person. My numbers are about the same for this promo as I expected.

In fact a little higher. It is a great product.

Best of success,
