Among the allegations:
- Widespread Zango “ActiveX” Installations without Unavoidable, Prominent Disclosure of Material Terms (XP SP1 and Earlier). Details.
- Widespread Zango Banner-Based Installations without Unavoidable, Prominent Disclosure of Material Terms (XP SP2). Details.
- Ongoing Zango Installations with No Disclosure Whatsoever. Details.
- Unlabeled Zango Ads - Toolbars, Desktop Icons, and Pop-Ups. Details.
- Zango Ads for Bogus Sites that Attempt to Defraud Users. Details.
In my hands-on testing, Zango continues numerous practices likely to confuse, deceive, or otherwise harm typical users as well as practices specifically contrary to Zango’s obligations under its November 2006 settlement with the FTC.
