Its spyware that baits users into installing it, by offering them free videos or games as people mentioned above. Its always been a nightmare to uninstall, very misleading, and they have brought to court more than once with class action lawsuits.
Then it monitors browsing habits etc and serves ads to those who were tricked into having it installed. If you've ever had a problem where you left your computer running but closed out all the windows... and come back later to find popups on your desktop, that could be zango.
Webmasters have a problem with it, because a surfer with zango can get served popups for programs they promote, say.. when the surfer is on a gallery page. The popup will contain zango refcodes (or refcodes of the purchaser of the zango traffic), and not the webmasters.
Generally it will display ads that are contextual to the webpage the surfer is viewing at the time.
