So if the surfer has such a program installed (whether they are aware of it or not), then any link appearing in their browser with the target keywords (whether typed in, click from affiliate1's link, redirect with affiliate1000's link etc.), the person bidding on the keyword would always get the sale credit.

You got it! The affiliate whose site is displayed by the spyware application gets the sale. Forced click = cookie overwritten = last cookie gets the sale = spyware scum affiliate gets credit.
I know that zango/180solutions is what is being talked about here, but don't forget that's only one company and one program. There are hundreds of them out there that do the exact same thing. So don't think for a minute that because zango doesn't target you that you're free and clear of these scums. There might be a dozen others that target you and steal from you every day.
