name to EnCase , a registered trademark of Guidance Software, Inc. 180solutions has
since replaced n Case with 180search Assistant. 180search Assistant
(http://www.180searchassistant.com) is described by 180solutions as  a small application
that is downloaded to your computer and runs in the background looking to show Web
sites with information, offers and products that match keywords that you are looking for
when either shopping or searching online.  180Solutions apparently created Zango as a
product that could be differentiated from itself from 180search Assistant. Still, there have
been repeated reports of installation of Zango without consent or through other deceptive
means.

 and has
provided Internet services since 1998.

  The Web site, www.cjb.net, offers services such
as free Web hosting, free URL redirection, free image hosting, free forum hosting, free
blog hosting, and anonymous surfing.  CJB.NET customers have the option of either
using the company's free hosting service, which is supported by advertising, or paying
$19.99 for a full year of hosting without advertising.  CJB.NET subsidizes the free
hosting option by distributing advertising software, including 180solutions programs such
as Zango.  180solutions does not target any specific user's Web site for advertising, but
targets CJB.NET generally, which then distributes the advertising to the free Web sites
hosted by CJB.NET.  Users/webmasters who do not want their Web site hosted by
CJB.NET to show ads must pay for the ad free subscription service.

  Users who sign up to
have a site hosted by CJB.NET are asked to provide a name for their Webpage, an email
address, and a password.  The subsequent screens offer users a number of promotional
offers.  New CJB.NET customers are prompted to accept at least one of these
promotional offers when signing up to receive a free Web page. Users who don't want to
participate in the promotional offers must locate and click on a tiny  No, Thanks  link
located under a large, brightly colored  Submit  button displayed prominently on the
page.  .  After either clicking  No, Thanks  or signing up for at least one promotional
offer, the next screen states  Your account has been created.   A link on the page allows
the user to upload files to their Web site.
