Zango is a self installing ad serving application, and people can bid on keywords for the popups it generates....so if I went in and bid on the term "Bang Brothers", any time someone with a Zango'ed PC typed in Bang Brothers into IE, Zango would pop up and show them my ad over top of their regularly scheduled browser window

the most important aspect is not "bidding on keywords" - its bidding on URL's... i.e. cams.com bids on yoursite.com and everytime an user opens yoursite.com, a window pops with a bunch of cams.com/aff ads on it.
lars was busted not only doing this, but also overwriting the cookies in the process.
