FTC shuts down thousands of deceptive Web sites

[Peter Scott]

"A U.S. court shut down thousands of Web sites after it determined that
they diverted Web surfers and held them captive while bombarding them with
ads for pornography and gambling. In its court action, the FTC is seeking 
to get Zuccarini to return the estimated $800,000 to $1 million he earns
in advertising revenues."
