fuzzy i hope you have learned since this post that Zango is not a fine program, and all those times you sales were down it really was zango fucking you. I have it on video to show how they overwrite cookies.

I hope you are still not promoting this, it will be hard for you to make affiliate sales if you are getting your traffic to install this shit on their pc.

no, i stopped using zango around the time this thread was made.

when i had zango installed i did NOT notice popunders for ifriends, but instead an adult dating site popunder (i think) for any adult related sites i visited.

since i created this thread i have always wanted to retest zango on another clean machine to see if it indeed relinks or rewrites cookies. i have not gotten around to it though. but i think i just might in a day or two since this issue has hit the limelight around here. i dont tell me i dont need to test -- i like to see with my own eyes, thank you

Who owns ZangoCash or 180 Solutions, or is affiliated with it?

Used to be:
180Solutions = company
zango = product

They used to have other products:
n case
180search assistant

I'm sure those two are still in use on some computers even though they haven't been downloaded for some time. Maybe the "call home" feature upgraded them to zango on its own and surfers have no idea.

Since they merged with hotbar (another scum), I think they're no longer 180solutions, they just call themselves zango now.

THe real issue is that Zango and others have become a large part of the business, I would estimate that probably 40-50% of all sales now are being done through spyware and scumware transactions (either redirects, changing cookies, sponsor codes, or by people "buying keywords" on these systems). I base this on what conversions were compares to what they are, and that good conversions are still had on smaller programs that might not be the target of these keyword theives, which is very revealing.

It is also a case of "windows XP is almost done". With Vista only a few months away, these people need to make their money now, because the next windows is going to take at least a few minutes to hack. I know of at least 10 friends who will be buying vista pretty much day 1 to get away from all the scumware and crap that they can't seem to entirely shake.

The day Vista hits the streets, conversions for normal webmasters will suddenly improve.

Hope you're right
I won't masturbate right away tho

On another note, those kind of companies has been around for ages and they will be around forever, sites like Gubas too and spam.
Unless these are banned from the sponsors itself, there is nothing you can do about it.
