Q: Is this the same Scour.com that was previously the Scour P2P file sharing network?
Nope, this is a completely different site, just the same name.

http://scour.com/faq/

It was originally aftervote, until a purchase of aftervote by ABCSearch http://blog.scour.com/about-3/ http://www.abcsearch.com/about.php?sec=aftervote --Atomic1fire (talk) 00:58, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Scour no longer rewards its users money for searching and is focusing on adding more features to the search engine itself, so this article needs to be updated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.240.54.134 (talk) 14:28, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Any thoughts on adding a bit about the new cookie scour uses which redirects google results to them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.135.224.87 (talk) 20:30, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Scour is currently a fraudulent business operation

Scour is the destination url of numerous search-redirect viruses at this time. Yet there's no mention of this in the article. --Petzl (talk) 18:49, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Scour redirect virus section

The same section blanking edits have been made recently by the following accounts:

There is reason to believe these accounts are related. I have added a source from a recent SIGCOMM publication about the problem. If the blanking happens again, I will request a Checkuser. Jokestress (talk) 04:30, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
