Hi In response to what you have said I know that stealware and browser hijacking aren t exactly the same thing which is why I qualified my remarks by saying that it might fall under the umbrella of browser hijacking in case someone wanted to come along and give a definitive confirmation one way or the other At any rate here is an excerpt from the earlier revision to explain why I thought there was some confusion involved This software modifies the browser s behavior with respect to some or all domains It modifies the url submitted to the server to profit from a given affiliate scheme by the content provider of the given domain Therein lies the confusion The definition above is so broad that it is really more a definition of browser hijacking than it is of stealware and could easily be intepreted as such Stealware is definitely more specific than something that modifies URLs and browser behavior In fact unless I m not mistaken it refers to a type of theft that occurs in which commission that would have been earned by a web site through an affiliate scheme is stolen by someone else through the fradulent replacement of a cookie in the user s browser Because the original definition under this section sounded like the one for browser hijacking I could only assume that the label of URL Injection was purely accidental and was supposed to be Browser Hijacker instead Either that or the person who did this section really meant to write about URL Injection but wrote a poor definition of it Adding to the confusion was what appeared to be a glaring omission of Browser Hijacking from the table of contents since it s one of the most prevalent types of malware around Since the definition of URL Hijacking matched it perfectly I only assumed that this section was about it but that it was simply mislabeled
