Basically, with 20 million people "enjoying" their software, they can make a pretty big dent in sales, especially if they are hitting majoritly into the english marketplaces, which is where most of us are trying to sell.
What other major toolbar players are hitting adult?

That's exactly my point Alex. Zango doesn't always get installed on its own. Many times it's bundled with other scumware downloads of which the first illegal install is a totally different application, zango is just included in the bundle along with many others. When these shady companies pay per install, many scumbag webmasters will combine several of them in the same download so they make quite a bit more that way. So rather than making just $0.40 with zango, they could be earning $x.xx or even $xx.xx per install.
Zango probably is the most known scumware program in both adult and mainstream. 180Solutions has been in the spotlight many times over the years, not many have never heard of them or never got hit with one of their scumware applications (n/case or 180SearchAssistant).
Pretty much the only ways to have heard of some of the others is 1) if you got hit with it, 2) if you follow spyware talks, 3) If you happened to have read about it in some forum, or 4) someone told you about it
I'm not going to post any more names of scumware programs. Too many idiots here are already proud of infecting computers with zango and brag about it (someone shoot them!!!) so I'm not going to give them any ideas or where/how to get more of these applications.
