Going to take the other side for a second here (note I don't speak Spanish) but the ones I checked (adobe reader and firefox) link directly to the original sites download links, so is there really a problem if they aren't charging or injecting spyware?

Maybe they link directly to the original DL because you're not in a supported country. I am.

MOTHERFKERS!

mouser:
can you explain a little bit more about what you have discovered they are doing scancode?

app103:

I think services mentioned below can be used to take these sites down.

# Phishtank (another opendns sister project)
# Web of Trust (Firefox plugin available)

WOT would not have protected anyone from most of these scam sites until today. More than half of them didn't have any bad reputation marks. (I just changed that, though  ;) )

By the way, WOT is also available for IE, so if you know anyone that would be dumb enough to get themselves in trouble, install it on their PC, for both IE and Firefox (if they have that, too)

Scannie, if you discover any more of them, be sure to let me know. I got buckets of red paint ready for their reputation pages on WOT. If you get a big enough list together I can post it on the WOT forum and get a lot more people behind flagging them, too.
