- most affiliates don't seem to be losing signups to zango
I may be wrong but that's what i've witnessed so far. My feeling is that zango has the power to be a huge issue but as of right now is not a major problem for tgps and paysites. My guess is when it comes to spyware there are some other nasty programs (maybe midsize) that are doing so much more damage and are flying under the radar and not being discovered.

Shap i ran a test on hoes.com when this all went down. It did a total of like 6k of popup in 4 hours. So i can just do the math on a 24 hour period. Cost me $92 to figure this out. So yes its alot worse then people think. Last numbers i see there were like 32 million cpus that zango was installed on. Not to mention it was on youtube for a while and a big thing on myspace as well...
