Zango - You do not need it
Lately I've been seeing many ads for the
"free" tools and content you can get by installing Zango. They offer an
all in one instant messenger service and lots of "free" games and web
content. You must allow them to install an Internet Explorer
toolbar called Zango Search Assistant which will track your web surfing
habits and serve you two or three targeted website ads a day.
Conclusion: I read their privacy policy. I
don't like it so I didn't try it. I don't need it and I don't think you do
either.

Is Zango spyware?
No. Zango is an application that provides a valuable revenue stream for software and online content publishers as a way of sponsoring that content and those applications – and continuing to make them freely available to consumers. We do not sneak aboard computers, and we do not collect any personally identifiable information. Our software simply delivers 2 to 3 targeted websites per day on average, as users are searching and shopping online. Without our sponsorship, dozens of websites and software applications would no longer be available to you for free on the Internet.
