Ok, on this chat site me and my friend went to, someone said something about free games on something called "Zango" before we did anything we researched it on google and all we got was somethings about deleting it, and how great it was. Its half in half and i want to ask, Should we take a look at it, or ignore it?

I would avoid Zango at all costs,we are constantly removing it's ad and spyware in our Malware forums.

Zango, formerly ePIPO, 180solutions and Hotbar, was a software company that provided users access to its partners' videos, games, tools and utilities in exchange for viewing targeted advertising placed on their computers.[1] Zango software is listed as adware by Symantec.[2] McAfee states, "this program may have legitimate uses", but describes it as a "potentially unwanted program", and an "adware downloader".
