It is one of the reasons most of the toolbars (including apparently Zango) have remarkable self healing (what we can self re-installation) abilities, hiding version of themselves all over the place so that they can be re-activated and reloaded automatically even after an attack to remove them.

We would have to have a large number of people working endlessly to try to find ways to get rid of this stuff... have you seen how many version of coolwebsearch there are?
