This is hardly zango's fault. Blame developers who bundle zango + whenu + spyware on their products.
I just did. Can you please prove otherwise? No beating around the bush, I want concrete proof of this accusation.

I am a computer programmer and tend to know a thing or two about what goes on with programs when you install them. and I know for a fact that zango does steal aff links here is some links to find out what zango does

most people who install zango don't want it. so if they don't wan't and it is so easy to unistall how can zango make money? I'll take a wild guess here but do correct me if I am wrong they steal money from your aff accounts. You do all the work you pay the server costs you SHOULD get the profit not some multi-million $ shitty company.

the first link I posted there contains solid proof about zango.

I agree!

"malicious trash"

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh Pwned! :thumbsup

I'm also a programmer and also know a thing or two that can go on with the programs when they are installed.
That link is from October 20, 2004. Zango does not deny that it used to practice shady business, but they state that their products are clean right now. I'm not trying to defend them, im looking at this objectively from the point of view of whether or not it can be uninstalled.
So far no one can provide concrete proof that zango is not removed by add/remove programs or that it has timer-activated installation of malicious software.

Btw, SpywareGuide lists Zango at danger level 1 on a 10 scale.

It also labels it as Adware, just like your ICQ, or RealMedia player, or ex-Kazaa.

The first step is to kill the process, then remove it with the add/remove programs tool. That just removes the basics of the program. You still need to edit your registry, unregister dll files, and so forth that the add/remove program doesn't do for you. Do a search for zango manual removal and look at everything you need to do. Then go back to your computer and see how much of it you still have.

And that is if you were lucky enough to just get zango. If it was a bundled package you got, good luck.

Thanks! I am sure that will messup and slander suits that zango was going to luanch against me.

If wikipedia calls it spyware... then I don't see how I can be sued for calling it the same thing.

100% correct!!!

I don't think cookies should be the way to count sales anymore. Can anyone say sessions?
