Spyware company still infecting MySpace users
Zango’s Myspace partner still pushing their videos in Myspace :
It seems that spyware producers Zango are still up to their old tricks…
Stan Monlux, Zango senior director of business development, told internetnews.com they forbid partners from posting Zango content on MySpace profiles. Monlux did admit that some of its partners do violate their Agreement and that Zango detects and deals with them effectively. “We routinely check, and we’ve built tools that will help us track back the domains from which our applications have been installed,” he said.
…you would think his account had been terminated, right? Pushing Zango videoclips (from a site called Myspacegraphicalhelp) that we all know shouldn’t be pushed on Myspace, hand in the cookie jar, slap Mr naughty affiliate on the wrist and send him directly to the naughty boy’s room.
You would think.
Kill him off, watch the bad press slowly drip away and, eventually, all is right with the world. Nobody is picking on poor Mr affiliate anymore, nobody is wailing on Zango anymore - everybody is smiling again. Hooray.
So, imagine my surprise when I came across the website in the screenshot, pushing - you guessed it - Zango videos as “myspace videos”. Time to take this sucker apart, right? Well, a quick check on the whois details tells me the website registrant is…wait for it…
Mark Arruda, the guy who runs the Myspacegraphicalhelp site. You know, the one whose “myspace videos” page mysteriously disappeared at the height of the Zango on Myspace debacle.
