"In order to view video clips of car smashes and accidents, or download games and screensavers on Zango.com users must install a file called Setup.exe from a server at static.zangocash.com. What many may not realise is that by doing so they are downloading adware onto their machines which not only relays information back to Zango about their web sessions but may also serve annoying pop-up ads which could contain adult content."
