Zango, Hotbar, 180 Solutions are all bad, bad, bad

What is wrong with this?

Everybody knows that Zango and 180 Search Solutions are some of the hardest flavours or spyware that you can encounter.

I'm sure i'm not in the minority to say that any anti-spy program worth a review would flag all these mentioned products as high-risk spyware/adware. Come on Zango, when are you going to stop installing this crap on people's computers. Noboby wants it, nobody asks for it.

I agree they're All Bad, so block them!

Last time I checked, which was more than a year ago, we had those turkeys' domains and IPs blocked at the firewall so they couldn't pollute all of the PCs in our organization. It's the only way to stop the nasty, pernicious spyware from trashing up everyone's PC.
