Searchingbooth Promoting Vonage - via Rpowermedia and Traffic Marketplace

On a PC with Searchingbooth spyware installed, I browsed the Skype web site. I received the Vonage popup shown below. The popup was loaded as follows: Searchingbooth sent traffic to Rpowermedia which sent traffic to Traffic Marketplace, then on to aQuantive's Atlas (which tracks most Vonage ad placements), and finally to Vonage. Note also the off-screen placement of the window's "X" button, preventing users from easily closing the ad. Screenshot prepared July 10, 2006.
