Overview:

       
      There are advertisement services all over the world that pay for every 
      "unique" click. To make sure for them that you do not earn money by 
      clicking 1000x on your own, they store every IP (the unique address given 
      to you when connecting). This address cannot be changed, so it's a good 
      protection to prevent cheating. 

      WebClicker uses public available proxies to load & click your banners. The 
      advertisement systems will recognize every proxy as a single unique user 
      clicking on your banner and thus increase the user payment.
      Server administrators have to be aware of this heavy security hole, as customers 
      may use this program to earn hundreds of dollar a month! You as a server 
      administrator and software developer have the opportunity now to test your own 
      servers to improve protection and to detect possible cheating schemes.

Usage/Documentation:

      Proxy List:
      This field contains the proxies you want to use (1 per line). You can 
      freely edit this list or use the "Load List" button  to load your own proxy 
      list. WebClicker auto-loads PROXY.TXT, if existing.
            
      URL List:
      This list should contain your "target sites" (1 per line). 
      Every URL will get hit once through every proxy. Again, you can freely edit 
      this box or load your own file. WebClicker auto-loads URL.TXT, if existing.
      
      User Agent:
      WebClicker randomly chooses one of the selected User Agents to pretent real 
      browsers. Normally you don't have to change anything here.
      
      Document Referer:
      This one is important: Put your complete page address (where your banners
      lay) in here. Not the main site, but directly the site you have your banners 
      on. WebClicker will use this to fake a real user click, coming from exactly 
      this page.
      
      Timeout:
      The time how long WebClicker waits for an answer before it proceeds with the 
      next URL. You don't have to change this.
      
      Remove not working Proxies:
      Check this box if WebClicker should remove and skip proxies that do not answer 
      in the predefined time or do not exist at all.
      
      Progress Window:
      
      After you have set up all things above, this part will show detailed information 
      about the running process. Using the SKIP buttons, you can skip a proxy if 
      you want to.
