love how they deny it, just by searching on google for 180 or zango you get so much proof it isnt funny.

interesting...i expect some major lawsuits over this

hope no one gets hurt too badly

The trouble with having all these threads on the same topic is that they start to overlap. I already wrote about some of my thoughts on the differences between shaving and scumware here: http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showpo...&postcount=149

You are right of course and you could have added that most webmasters are incredibly short-sighted, because by turning a blind eye to dubious practises, we actually encourage them. It is possible that collectively we are sending thousands of unpaid sales to sponsors for no other reason than we have encouraged them to believe they can even get away with being caught.

The out-and-out crooks would be trying to stiff us whatever the circumstances, but by walking around carrying signs saying "mug me", I'm damn sure we have tempted a few more to oblige us.

There is another side to this issue which doesn't appear to be making much impression, namely that unlike shaving - which is between a sponsor and his own affiliates - this affects every program owner as well as every affiliate. It can affect sponsors' own consoles. Come to that, since a PC loaded with scumware reacts to keywords and domain names - it doesn't even know the type of site the surfer is visiting - it could affect traffic coming from search engines, clicks on paid-for gallery spots, traffic trades and traffic sales (to and from brokers). In short, everyone handling traffic is affected. It's ridiculous: a link to a content provider or graphic artist's site could trigger popup windows.

In other words this is an issue that everyone in this industry should be on top of, yet while it is impressive to see a topic going into its second week, there are pitifully few people apparently concerned enough to state their position.

I'm handsome ..

i dont wanna get involved but its almost time i do so. Just hate spyware.

hey at 40 cents an installl we all can make some good bank

Can't beleive it Lars WTF were you thinking ?


Turned to the darkside ?
Lars, i'm your father !

haha, thats hillarious.. its ok because their advertiser made money off it, not zango directly? But wait... the advertiser pays zango. What a load of bullshit. I hope these scammers don't last long.

fuck zango

Thank you for once again contributing your eternal wisdom to this thread, you are useless.

This thread deserves to be on top...

Will, when will this list of sponsors using adware going to be out. I'd be interested in that list myself.

second page is better then no page, SEEEEEEEEEE PETER DANCE!!

I had some spyware on my laptop and couldn't get rid of it. I took 2 weeks off from work trying to shake it so I just bought a new laptop.

I refuse to infect my visitors intentionally.

If there is a spyware remover out there that can detect and remove this junk I would give them a full page write up and recommendation on all of my sites.

AFF should sue Zango for selling them down the river.

I saw a site offering movies, I clicked on the movie and it asked me to install the exe , I did not. Then I went into zangocash, (since the prompted a download I didn't think it was too bad) , but guess what? When I went inside of zangocash, I got infected with NO PROMPT from INSIDE THE WEBMASTERS AREA.

Needless to say, I never went back and let Norton deal with it. My pc is fine now.

were you on consumptionjunction?

Bump for a good thread.

all the loovveee

will 76 for pres....

Is it possible to find out what advertisers are using Zango?

This needs a little more page1 time...

funny stuff. one big company with a terrible reputation for doing exactly what they are being accused of, just publically called another big company a bunch of thieving assholes. they didn't even have the brains to dodge the issue or simply say "our software does not....." - they just called the other guys scammers. the funnier part is if anyone goes to court over this issue, the dirt thats gonna come out is most likely gonna sink more than a couple companies.

:upsidedow

some how after reading that you suddenly made me feel like an oreo.

we'll just call you Double Stuff :)

this biz is one of smoke, mirrors, posturing, fake wealth and stealing and the idiot sycophant, sig whores that adore them.

the sad thing is that if you posted pics of the crew from AFF drugging and raping a 10 year old boy, in a church, while filming it for distribution, with Osama Bin Laden holding the camer, while holding a suitcase with a nuclear bomb, screaming i'm going to kill all the infidels... people that don't know him would still be jumping in saying "they're great guys, i met them at a show once, stand up crew all the way.... blah blah blah" and "sig spot!"

all you have to do is keep pushing. you just made zango deal with you. if you believe in what you are doing, then keep pushing until they all have to deal with each other. unless my comprehension skills suck, zango just accused AFF of robbing affiliates. either its a defamatory statement... or its fact. win/win for you.

this thread is now famous

woot for views!

if anyone not in the adult industry is reading this and wants to enter the adult internet industry, hit me up jace (at) justjace (dot) com, I can get you rollin in no time and makin some money!

Lar's thread starts with 666.. coincidence? :1orglaugh

Me and Pleasurepays on the same side of an issue... you know the industry has gone to shit.

dammit... we need to create specail anti-Zango module :)

Actually, I am considering putting up a site that everyone can link their cam / dating traffic through to teach surfers how to remove zango and their other "buddies". Enough bullshit, time to attack the problem head on.

I hope you?re kidding. It will be interesting seeing these modules at work. How do you plan to do this?

The only way to attack the problem is to go after the companies that support Zango, companies that do business with Zango (companies like AFF, Sexsearch etc).

I switched to iwantu and it's doing well, they have good support as well.

Datinggold does not allow Spyware to be used to promote us!

Cool... More webmasters should know.
