We find more 180 installs with exploits and the child porn angle like
the yapbrowser and throw it into the face of Warner Bros to show who
they jumped into bed with.

Via The Inquirer.

[snip]

Warner Brothers have signed a deal with 180SOLUTIONS to provide content
for the outfit's consumer site Zango.com.

Their shows, "Deception" and the animated show "Medical Island" were
created specifically for the Web are only available if you download
180Solutions ad-serving software which will deliver six pop-up ads a
day.

The Warners have been a bit quiet about the deal, possibly because
180solutions is at odds with the likes of the Center for Democracy and
Technology (CDT) who has laid a complaint about it with the Federal
Trade Commission.
