In a post I did a few weeks ago about [intlink id=”3303″ type=”post”]Zango and Mythbuster[/intlink],  I talked about how the site wanted you to install Zango but Now it looks like they aren’t doing that anymore.

[ad#cricket-right-ez]Although this isn’t unexpected by me because of the need to have a way to check the affiliates sites and installing some where even exploiting a vulnerability in Windows to install the software.   Some would call this a Notorious Adware Vending and I tend to agree in a quote from Computerworld:

Zango’s Smith saw it differently. “The bigger problem was that the vast majority of our installs received inadequate consent: the user technically had an opportunity to decline the install, but wasn’t presented with enough information to make an informed choice,” he wrote.

In a blog Entry from Ken Smith the former Co-founder of Zango talks a lot about what was the prime reasons for the downfall of the Zango Name.  The Demise of Zango isn’t one that we will ever truly know the reason for the downfall but I am for one glad this Adware site is down for good and according Graham Cluely blog post so his.  Graham raises a glass and I say “Here here!!”
