Despite the initiatives of 2005, 180solutions admitted that it is possible for malicious users to hack their install routines and thus cause fraudulent installs.[10] They claim that the percentage of fraudulent installs has dropped from over 10% to under 1%. Critics claim that the business model is untenable because fraud against 180solutions (which therefore harms unknowing users via non-consensual installs) can never be completely removed.[11]
In early 2008, a malicious Facebook widget was discovered by Fortinet as luring users to install Zango under the pretence of identifying a “Secret Crush”.[12] This has since been proven to be untrue by an InfoWorld blogger.[13]
On June 17 2008, Zango announced it was laying off over 30% of its staff including senior executives Ken Smith and York Baur in an attempt to focus on its new product 'Platrium'. [14]
