Default Zango toolbar


I recently visited the site www.zango.com
It had great resources for movies, games, and other stuff.
But however, the site requires the user to install a Zango toolbar before anything can be downloaded.
I installed the toolbar, but i found out it was a great source of malware, spyware and adware.
I scanned with my Ad-aware to find 120 dangerous entries. So i had to uninstall the toolbar.

Is there any way that i can use this site without the zango toolbar, or anyway i can prevent these malware from infecting my pc??

Why don't you use a firewall?

ZoneAlarm Pro Firewall detected that site as Spysite & blocked it.

@yrana2002 dude, use a good firewall like ZA to save your PC from such mistakes
