I'm presuming Joe isn't an affiliate with any company whatsoever for him NOT to be getting screwed at all. If you have ANY page on the web - then I'm afraid that there's no way to be immune by their redirect on users who have it on their computers.

I'd try to redirect the users with Zango to a different domain so you can track how many people in your network of sites really ARE infected (oops - I mean, have IT installed) and see what amount of people can possibly be redirected. This not only affects you, but it affects every advertiser on your sites, buyer of your traffic and people who trade with you - EVEN if you stopped using them.

The fact that you DID use them, just confirms that you've allowed them to spread it on more computers and in turn, potentially screwing more webmasters, affiliates, program owners of more potential earnings - but
I guess you knew that already.

If you are trying to rectify - (which I didn't get the sense that you were stopping in this thread yet) - but I'll assume you have good intentions, then keep whatever money you did earn rather than donate it and then put a warning on your network that will inform your surfers how to remove it if they choose to do so.

In the long run - the earnings you did make will be overshadowed by the future *potential* earnings that will be redirected from you.
