Maybe, maybe not. The fine is a slap on the hand. It all depends whether the FTC enforces the ruling 100% from this point on. There were a lot of good things in what they had proposed last month. Baby steps with one scum company is a good start and it will be interesting to see what the FTC does next.
Some people are monitoring zango's every move, every download, every popup, and taking their TOS apart.
No doubt that adware companies, not just 180, cannot control 100% of their affiliates 100% of the time. Besides, if they HAVE to provide uninstall tools that work and do away with driveby downloads, that's a huge slice to their bottomline right there. Who in their right minds wants their shit on their computer? If they don't abide by the rules... what will happen to them?
That's what we're all waiting to see...
