So their surfers will get infected with annoying spyware and their other advertisers income is slowly drained away as these surfers will just get competing advertisements when they click other ads on the page.

Doesnt seem like they are looking into the longterm much. They sell their surfers out for a one time shot.. when they sell a dating site the surfer comes back and will buy other products in your ads, when they promote zango the user still comes back but your not going to make much money off them anymore

end rant ..
They're either thinking short term, or believe the benefits of promoting Zango outweigh the drawbacks. I think most just arent aware of how malicious that software is with stealing sales.
