Given this: "180Solutions Targeting Kids" http://sunbeltblog.blogspot.com/2006/04/180solutions-targeting-kids.html ...I'd be very keen to keep a sharp eye on 180Solutions. Good job, Sunbelt -- keep up the good work. [snip] This is a completely worthless and, in fact, potentially dangerous application that pre-installs 180Solutions Zango and does nothing but apparently redirect you to a porn site. A relationship to child porn is even suggested from posts by Andrew Clover (who calls it the kidporn browser) and PaperGhost. You can see [above] the URL microsoft.com is redirected to this porn page. More worrisome is a Russian document (related to the highconvert gang) that we uncovered on April 4th which suggests that the YapBrowser will be used for some very nasty spyware installs.
