Zango parent company 180solutions was in hot water with the Justice Department earlier this year. The Federal Trade Commission received a formal complaint from the Center for Democracy and Technology claiming that the adware maker continues ?deceptive and unfair? methods in distributing software that generate popup ads.
In the complaint, the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit group told the FTC that 180solutions has ?remained brazenly reckless in its efforts to get its software on users? computers.? The CDT said it expects injunctions and penalties against 180solutions through the FTC. The company is best known for a 2004 incident in which it was accused of stealing commissions from its own affiliates.

I agree with Vex a site needs to be set up about all this. Even links to where people can contact the DOJ and FTC concerning this whole mess.
Is there a "black list" of affiliate programs using it?
