Teenagers Used to Push Zango on myspace:
JULY 9th 2006
http://www.vitalsecurity.org/2006/07...-zango-on.html
...a popup launches from the Myspace page, prompting you to accept a licence to play a videofile. If you do, you'll be installing the Zango Search Assistant and Toolbar. Of course, in this scenario, the licence agreement makes little sense to the user. It's just some random popup, right? If you saw this appear from a "regular" site that installs Zango Adware, then you'd at least have to click a button to bring up the licence prompt. You could argue that you knew what you were getting into.
Here? On Myspace?
The average user is probably going to assume it's "from Tom", and as such is perfectly safe and endorsed by Myspace. A Myspace feature or something, yes? They don't know it's being popped up via someone gaming the Adware system (again).
