Well it was yet another Paperghost\Zango bust fest. PG finds a profile on MySpace using an exploit which leads to a Zango site pushing Zango content vids. And of course you need to view the vids with the ever present Zango crapware. This stuff is almost as bad as the
codecs I wrote about last week. Read and Discuss Here
