The WhenUShop (WhenU Shop) adware software can cause affiliate commissions to be lost by encouraging the user to click on their popup sidebar offers. Though WhenU has disclosed that they are not offering the WhenU Shop adware, the download page can still be found on the Google search engine (as of 05/10/06) and the application can be downloaded. However, WhenUShop does appear to be removed from the main navigation menu throughout the WhenU site which tends to indicate that WhenU is no longer actively supporting the WhenUShop adware.

See the two examples below with the Before and After effects of WhenU's ThiefWare adware.
