Zango is at it again

Note: I'm posting this hear because all of us tech-types just KNOW that someone we know will end up trying to install this...

Apparently, someone has put up a fake advertisement for a "Batman Online" game, that doesn't seem to exist. The site these ads link to convince users to install Zango crapware and then lead the poor fool to a demo version of a game that came out in 2001. It's not even an online game.

I do hope someone sues this company into the ground for this. I really do, because I'm tired of having to clean up the mess people make from installing this crap.

Either the writers are getting more desperate, or they are getting brilliant. I haven't figured out which yet.

More like people aren't getting smarter. It's the same crap. Packaged with the latest fad.

I agree. Just look at all the phishing attempts I'm getting from @aol.com email addresses. Oh, the CEO of Bank of America wants me to send him my bank information to his @aol.com email address? OK!!!
