Among the solutions proposed here I think another one is to inform the user.

If you want to inform your surfers you can create a landing page like that or use mine and add the following .htaccess code to your sites:

Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*ZangoToolbar.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.dark5.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.yourdomain.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://www.dark5.com/warnings/zango.php?ref=www.yourdomain.com [R,L]

I've added it to a couple of my sites and will add it to all.
If all big traffic sites would use something like this we could accomplish something.

If you run a TGP this thing will just kill it. So it's not a way out.
