Holy Scam Batman! The Ghost Sees Through Zango

Chris Boyd (aka Paperghost) reported last week on his Spyware Guide blog about a dodgy offer for a “Free Online Batman Game” that in reality installed Zango and a crappy demo version of an ancient game that you could have downloaded for free somewhere else. It should not take more than a few brain cells to figure out that DC Comics is not coming to you with an online Batman game that nobody knows about and has not been mentioned in the press.

This shows you need to be wary still. Who knows how much either side knew, but when you have such an obvious misrepresentation you really have to wonder. Did people just look the other way for a buck?
