Anyone heard of Zedo.com? are they like Zango.com?
 

from out of no where I am now getting timed IE popups on my laptop, I never installed anything, clicked anything wierd, and I just formatted last week.....something autoinstalled on my laptop without my knowledge

all the popups says Ads By Zedo on them

is this another Zango type program?

oh yeah, on a side not and very ironic, the MOST common ad I am getting is for passion.com

If you download Spybot it will get rid of it, and it's free too

already tried that and adaware, nothing is working to get rid of it

I kind of want to let it run though, to see who all is advertising through it

passion eh?

Thats strange spybot got rid of zedo for me, and a few other little pests, anyway good luck and I hope you can get rid of it, oh yeah post who is advertising thru it when you find out, it would be interesting to know:winkwink:

I think adaware might have gotten it on boot, cause the ads haven't popped up in a while

LOL...my system is now locked down with Spybot, Adaware, MS Defender and AVG

Zedo itself isnt spyware - they are just an advertising company that supply much of the mainstream community

It does sound like you need to run something like hijackthis and webroots' spy sweeper - should get rid of anything in there

I never said it was spyware, but it WAS installed on my pc without my permission and without install prompt

basically, as they seem to say on their site, they are an ad serving company, and from what i can tell, they are serving ads on my computer without my permission, ADWARE....and regardless of what people on gfy say, adaware is just as evil to me as spyware

i think what he is saying is that they probably offer some sort of ad feeds or something similar for publishers... but the actual spyware installed on your computer that is popping up windows, probably has nothing to do with them.

its funny reading sites like theirs. they all have to struggle with the same shit... finding different ways to spin the concept of "we have crappy, over priced traffic and not much of it" into "we are the most advanced, most cost effective ad network in 432 galaxies throughout the universe"

It could have been a delayed popup.

I could program my site to pop a console an hour after visitor leaves my site.

Zedo isn't adware/spyware/scumware. As a matter of fact, its not anything that is installed on your system. Zedo is an ad delivery and ad inventory management system. Its not that different from OpenAds/Max Media Manager (look for it on sourceforge, it works great!). What you're getting are most likely just well coded fade consoles.

Dont cloud peoples minds with facts :)

they are just looking for drama

nah, got my first one when my computer restarted

and I don't use IE, and they always come from IE

ah, ok, cool...that is what I was wondering

so, I need to find the source of the adware, I was just curious what Zedo was

Hooker !

there now we called each other names doesnt that make you feel better.

passion.com was pone of the main advertisers, and remember kids, this apparently IS is the state of our industry...LOL

[QUOTE=LegendaryLars;12162472]I am sure it makes YOU feel better considering I am not a hooker and you are a thief....well, you support thieves, so you might as well be one

how is that illegal business funding going? is it similar to drug dealing? does it give you the same high with all that money?

I love the fact that I asked a question and was trying to learn that translates into "looking for drama" to some people
