I totally agree with you that they are total scumbags. At the same time, I am amazed that they've been able to keep that company going for so long, probably close to 10 years. They've somehow stayed afloat and kept producing new products while so many other more worthy startups came and went that I can't help but give them some grudging respect. How do they stay alive?

Toolbar installs were responsible for most of their revenues before the ads came to be on their clients.

Meebo (remember them?) was also staying afloat with toolbar installs.
