Oh this is just rich! According to InfoWorld, there is a crazy lawsuit in the works...where a known spyware company is sueing an anti-spyware company...Wow! I have never heard of anything so stupid.

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.

PC users have complained that the software has been installed without warning, forcing them to endure unwanted pop-up ads. The company has also been accused of tracking user behavior and making its software too difficult to remove.

Zango now bills itself as an online media company whose products are critical to the Internet.

Critics are not so sure.

Online Media company critical to the Internet! Ha!

I hope they win. I really do. Because won't that just open a FLOODGATE of suits against THEM from consumers (can you say Class Action???) who have had their software installed on their computer without the user's knowledge or permission?

Bring it on!
