aggregately, they could be on many of your users computers, but each company would have to have their spyware set up to specifically leach your specific traffic

so while i agree that those companies are scumbags, i think you are exaggerating the issue

Zango's own numbers - 200,000 new users PER DAY, which would be 73 million users per year.

The important thing isn't Zango by itself - but the huge numbers of toolbar and spyware companies out there tagging traffic in various ways.

From 2005: http://www.itfacts.biz/index.php?id=P3309

The numbers are staggering.
