US-based Zango, the FTC said, installed adware more than 70 million times, causing 6.9 billion pop-up ads.

Zango's CEO said he "deeply regretted" any negative impact.

Zango, previously called 180 Solutions, is based in Washington and was described by the FTC as one of the world's largest distributors of adware - programs that, once installed, can bombard people's computers with adverts.

The FTC alleged the company used third parties to install its adware onto consumer's computers, hiding the programs in games, screensavers or browser updates being offered for free.

Once installed, the programs monitored internet use and offered pop-up ads based on the sites that had previously been visited.

The FTC claimed Zango deliberately made it difficult to identify, locate and remove the adware once it was installed.

they claim 20 million members, 70 million installs. I guess 50 million people either figured out how to get the shit off of their pc or just decided to throw it away and buy a new one.
