Adware maker Zango caught cheating on legal settlement
Published November 21st, 2006 in All Categories
Adware maker Zango doesn’t comply with the terms of a November settlement with the Federal 
Trade Commission (FTC), security researchers claim. Zango early November agreed to pay a $3m fine for its "unfair and deceptive" methods of distributing its adware.
Under the proposed terms of the agreement, the adware maker has to stop serving advertisements to older versions of its application. It also had to clearly identify pop-up ads that the software served to users and had to clearly obtain consent from users before the software could be installed.
Zango at the time claimed that it had been in compliance with the new rules since the beginning of this year. Adware maker caught cheating on legal settlement - vnunet.com
