Looks like WhenU was caught doing some cloaking to improve their search rankings. You can read the Clickz article here. According to Ben Edelman, a big time anti-spyware guy, he was the one who tipped Google off about it.
You mean to tell me WhenU engaged in unethical behavior? No way! they would never stoop to that level. They're such an upstanding Internet citizen, how you could you even accuse them of such a thing? ;)

The research at issue is at http://www.benedelman.org/spyware/whenu-spam .
See also new research showing WhenU violating its own privacy policy ( http://www.benedelman.org/spyware/whenu-privacy ) and copying dozens of articles from publishers without authorization ( http://www.benedelman.org/spyware/whenu-copy ).

The people at whwnu have told me that they are very distressed that some companies are violatinng their software agreement.
Although they originally helped me to remove the ads they later told me thad had I not removed them they would habe been able to take action against the offenders.
Please help them track these offenders by calling Avi Naider at 212-239-000 when you get these ads.
