You would hope so. But they may just reappear with a new name and new funding to start up all over again. Some company has to provide an ad platform for all those products legitimate ad companies won't touch with a ten foot pole.

What TKJunkMail See Profile says is correct. This happens over and over and over in this country. Best thing to do is note who all the key players are (CEO, CFO, CTO, COO, etc.) and track what the hell they're up to over the next couple of years.

There's a certain mentality that's required to run this sort of business model -- that is to say, a mentality that stems from parents not teaching them "treat others how you wish to be treated", and/or a lack of overall morals.

Thank you, capitalist America.

... Maybe they'll go under owing a lot of money to spammers and the like.

Bashing capitalism AND America in one sentence. That's efficiency.

And such a unique and courageous statement of my country. It's not at all like parroting the endless indoctrinate rantings of the vast intelligentsia. No siree.

For a moment, I thought you were actually holding men accountable for their own actions. You really had me worried. But you came through in the end. Whew!

Re: Finally

im sure the execs will start another scumware firm whose "products" cost users and their ISPs lots of money.

i say their ISPs because when they get the popup saying their computer is infected from say antivirus2009, they arent calling Dell or HP they call their ISP. then they get sent to Geeksquad who charges them 250 bucks.

Odd they seem to be alive and kicking to me: »adservices.zango.com/

Heck they were in contact with me for ads on my site just last month. Rejected them because they suck but they aren't dead imo.

Re: noooo

Oh hell no.
Exploitware is keeping my shop busy as all get out.
I got a link from a Facebook friend who's account had been compromised last night to a fake A/V install.
I feel so sorry for the folks getting hit I only charge $25 to remove the fake A/V infections. I am still making money and many friends.

Zango was a bunch of scum sucking bottom feeders.
What will their job skills qualify them for now?

"was targeted unfairly" ???

Who the f--k is this Smith guy and they didn't deserve fairness as they exploited internet users (some deserving, but most clueless).
If you don't know what your contractor, let alone sub, is doing, you deserve the kick in the arse.
Ah...coffee.....sigh..
