I was reading the new batch of posts this morning about Zango and getting more and more pissed off. I went and put a warning on some of my sites, and then started thinking...Fuck this, I don't want to warn people, I want to stop any Zango infected browser from even touching my site. I don't want to just hope the surfer reads and does something, I want to throw it in his face and MAKE him read.
So here it is. 2 (or 3) simple lines in your .htaccess and you're done. Zango infected browsers can't hit your site, and surfers get a page telling them what zango does, a link to the FTC page explaining who the scumbag company behind Zango is, and a link to remove the crap from their computer.
Put these lines in your .htaccess file, preferably in the root web directory of your domain or domains:
That's it. If you already have rewrite rules in your htaccess file, simply omit the "ReWrite Engine On " and add the following 2 lines to the rest of your rewrite rules.
Any browser with the zango toolbar installed will be redirected to http://www.thefilthyfew.com/zango.html
I will leave that page there until the end of time. Make your own page and redirect them to it instead, or send them to mine, I don't care, just fucking do it.
This code should work on any apache server, but if you have trouble, let me know and I'll try to help you get it working, although I promise nothing.
If you want to verify that it works, I have it set up on http://www.myfuckinwife.com I can view the page fine in firefox and a clean IE, but with Zango installed I get bounced to the warning page.
