I guess the more threads on this the better, but it isn't really a whole lot different from what was suggested in one of Smokey's threads and as someone else mentioned, I really don't think that is something for the average surfer to attempt to tackle. In fact I would go so far as to say it is almost irresponsible to advise most surfers to manually edit their registries.
It's also unnecessary they take that risk, since Search-and-Destroy (and presumably other free programs/services) can safely remove not only Zango, but other scumware too.
While it cannot (generally) hurt to approach this problem from every angle, I think we are kidding ourselves if we believe we can make more than a small dent in the problem with this approach. Zango is just one of many scumware operations and so long as they are supported by people promoting their installs and customers buying from them, installs and the theft of traffic will continue to grow.
Reluctant as so many are to speak out, especially against some of the well-known names, in the end that is going to be the only real way to beat this problem.
