Have a look at http://www.hazeleger.net/scams/scam3-a.htm, although it
deals with a particular type of "advertizing", there is a link to a
list with both freeware and shareware programs that promise to do the
same as these "washer" programs. Please do mind that I haven't tested
either one of these programs, so I cannot vouch for them (too bloody
hot to test!)
