An 'online media company' Zango, which gained notoriety for [a href="http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/10/14/1952229&tid=172"]redirecting adult affiliate traffic[/a] and [a href="http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/07/11/0030250&tid=111"]the first ever MySpace worm[/a], is now [a href="http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/05/18/zango-sues-antispyware-vendor_1.html"]suing the anti-spyware vendor PC Tools[/a], maker of an application called 'Spyware Doctor', for removing Zango applications off the consumers' PCs.

'According to a posting on a blog called Spamnotes.com, Zango is seeking at least $35 million in damages, alleging that Spyware Doctor removes Zango's software without warning users that it will be deleted. The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in King County Superior Court in Seattle, according to Spamnotes.com. Formerly known as 180solutions, Zango is trying to clean up its tarnished reputation. In November it paid $3 million to settle U.S. Federal Trade Commission charges that its software was being installed deceptively on PCs.'[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]
This is like Osama Bin Laden filing a federal lawsuit in Washington D.C. alleging that George W. Bush is interfering with Bin Laden's rights to advance the agenda of fundamentalist Islam and kill innocent Americans.

The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

Wow. Talk about balls. Everybody who's ever had the misfortune of downloading their crap should sue them for inconvenience and harrasment.
