Hi Chipmunk!! Good to see ya again.

I understand they don't "alter" my cookie. What they do is replace my cookie with theirs. 1+1 = 2 and 3-1 =2 I don't care how they get there, they are deliberately targeting my traffic and stealing my signups.
I feel your pain Will. The main reason I posted the distinction is for 2 reasons. First is in response to the email claims by 180 posted by islopath that Zango doesn't "1. they don't alter, manipulate, or delete 3rd party affiliate referral tracking info". Zango is being very careful in their terminology. And they are doing this intentionally.

You are ABSOLUTELY correct the end result for you is the exact same. But from Zango's prespective, how they defend their business publicly they are taking the serious public relations spin road. And I have to say that Zango has a very good public relations company working for them. And they have been quite successful in how they spin. So when I have the chance to debunk their spin, I do. Because you are right in that you still got to the #2 didn't you?

The second reason I posted such detail is because of some of the prior posts talking about possible solutions and those were based what seemed to be the assumption the cookie/tracking itself was being altered by the adware. Those solutions wouldn't work because that's not how the adware works.
