    You thought Zango was bad? Check this (warning: disturbing)

    http://www.alexa.com/data/details/tr...6m&size=Medium
    Link is safe, it has alexa graph comparing traffic of sites in question to traffic of thehun. WARNING: Do not go to the actual sites, they will try to install crap if you click on their videos.

    To those who are not sure what's going on: Those guys are on first page of google for MANY MANY competitive search terms. The shit that they install is so bad that there is no affiliate program for it. I do not agree with Zango (even my sig is saying not to use them but if someone does, might as well jip them for 20% hence the ref link), but Zango is TAME compared to this.

    This is some serious bullshit. Really puts will76's crusade in perspective. THOSE guys are the real enemies of the industry. I'm still baffled at the amount of traffic that they get, it's insane how many computers they must be infecting every day.

            So, how many of your sites promote Zango and install their spyware?

                #1 I don't promote Zango

                #2 The ACTUAL spyware that I posted about is in top 10 for most celebrity keywords in Google.

                        Ok, I will get off your case. You just have to understand where I was coming from. Even though you may be saying "Don't promote Zango," there's still a link to it and a newer gfy member may just think you had some drama with them, click on it, see their payment plans and not realize they promote spyware.

                        Leading to a new Zango affiliate and more spyware on the Internet.

                        I like that you're fighting the fight, but think about what I just said.

                                        I'm pretty sure I've come across bestdailyvids before, my crawler has been choking on blackhat networks and there's a couple of large ones that redirect to an MGP with every gallery leading to a fake codec install. It's all gateway markov/keyword junk but Google seems to lap it up (for now)

                                            Looks like something called Zlob.

                                                don't get off his case, having a zango link in your sig IS promoting! if he makes 3 more posts "im not promotoing zango" - he will post link to zango 3 times.
                                                he is lying in our faces.
                                                he sells his morals for 20%, get it?

                                                  If it is Zlob, i had this little bastard, completely hijacks every result in SE's. A right fucker to get rid of too, took a 3 page thread on lava soft support to get rid of it - and IExploreres still knackered.


                                                  But why oh why do you have a zango aff link in your sig?! Did you used to promote them when the drama started put "don't" infront of your ad?

                                                  its like having FUCK OFF tattooed on your forehead with "please dont" in tiny letters above it lol.

                                                    Here's a blog post about it:

                                                    Wow, thats insane. Amazing how these trojans and spyware companies operate and since 2005/2006? Wow.

                                                        this is bad shit, these guys are really MUCH worse than zango.

                                                        seems that there are a whole lot lot of such spam domains http://www.phsdl.net/project_honeypot.php
