Zango (company)
Zango, formerly ePIPO, 180solutions and Hotbar, was a software company that provided users access to its partners' videos, games, tools and utilities in exchange for viewing targeted advertising placed on their computers. Zango software is listed as adware by Symantec. Computer security company McAfee said in 2005 "this program may have legitimate uses", but described it as a "potentially unwanted program", and an "adware downloader". Zango was co-founded by Smith brothers - Keith Smith, who served as the CEO; and Ken Smith, who served as the CTO.
In April 2009 Zango ceased trading after its banks foreclosed.
Hotbar, Seekmo, and ZangoCash, formerly owned by Zango, as of April 2010 continue to operate as part of Pinball Corporation.
