Adware Firm Zango, FTC Settle for $3M

One down, coupla million to go! :angry:

Quote:

Internet advertising firm Zango -- previously known as 180solutions -- has settled with the federal government, agreeing to pay $3 million in fines to settle charges that they used deceived consumers into downloading adware and obstructed them from removing it, in violation of federal law.

However in a statement, the former adware company attempted to shift the blame, saying it depended too much on its affiliates to enforce its policies. Even so, Zango apologized for the negative impact it had on consumers.
