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.[1] Zango software is listed as adware by Symantec.[2] McAfee states, "this program may have legitimate uses", but describes it as a "potentially unwanted program", and an "adware downloader".[3]

In a personal bankruptcy filing following a January 2009 $4.6 million judgment in favor of a former employee,[4] Zango's CEO stated that the company was in default to a bank consortium for over $44 million.[5] On 20 April 2009, industry magazine ComputerWorld reported that Zango had "closed its doors". A spokesman for video search engine company Blinkx said that although Blinkx had purchased some of Zango's "technical" assets such as servers, Zango was shut down after the consortium foreclosed.[6][7]
