Notorious adware maker DirectRevenue has closed shop.The company, which was recently doing business as Best Offers, gave no reason for its sudden closure, which was announced on its Web site. &quot;Best Offers and Direct Revenue have ceased operations. To service legacy consumers, we are maintaining this page of uninstall instructions, an uninstall software tool, and an e-mail based support service.&quot;E-mail sent to the Gmail address listed on the company&#39;s Web site was returned as undeliverable.DirectRevenue was founded in 2002, but it managed to make a lot of people unhappy during the course of its short life. Its software, which was often installed without user consent, would bombard victims with unwanted pop-up ads and was difficult to remove.The company was fined $1.5 million by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission in February and it was also&#160;sued by the New York attorney general. Critics called the FTC fine a slap on the wrist, however, as the company is thought to have made more than $20 million from its questionable business practices.&quot;This is a business that never should have existed,&quot; said Ben Edelman, a critic of the company who is an assistant professor at the Harvard Business School. &quot;They never did anything useful for users and merely preyed on victims too trusting or hurried to protect themselves from DirectRevenue&#39;s attacks.&quot;Company management had recently positioned Best Offers as a legitimate software company, and Edelman said that he did not know if they were planning on continuing in business under a different name.&quot;The people behind this company walked away with tens of millions of dollars,&quot; he said. &quot;They&#39;ve got the money. If they&#39;re smart, they&#39;ll take it and run.&quot;
