    It is spyware. However it's not malicious. A huge box pops up over your content and the user is asked to isntall it. Everything they need to know is written. It can easily be uninstalled. So there is a legitimate removal method however zango is still spyware. Your call

    its horrible ad/malware

    it takes over the searches of the computer its on and redirects the ads to its advertisers.

    its really bad for people who pay for ads since they get hijacked

    yes, they pay well.

    i have it on a site of mine but i clearly say dont install but since they want the content they still install it.

    yes, big warning now since they were sued by the FTC and lost millions on fines.

    i kinda think the vids they offer wont be clicked as much with all the free video sites.

    hmmm, use my affiliate code if you sign up.
