This website is sponsored by Zango

Zango is a free, premium-content access tool, paid for by advertising. Once installed and while online, using keywords sent to Zango from your Internet browsing, Zango software (with Weather) shows ads in a Zango Toolbar; a temporary Slider, on (e.g.) the bottom corner of your screen; and a separate browser window that pops up on your screen.

Zango's Internet Explorer, Outlook/Outlook Express and Word Toolbars give access to free emoticons (and more) within those applications, when online. Zango runs continuously and upgrades automatically. Uninstallation is easy via Add/Remove Programs, but eliminates content access.

7. Important Information Regarding Zango Search Assistant Zango Software. If the Zango Software consists of Zango Search Assistant (the "Search Assistant Zango Software"), then the following terms and conditions apply to you:

7.1. Functionality. The Search Assistant Zango Software recognizes keywords from your Internet browser to display relevant contextual advertisements. These advertisements may be displayed on your computer screen at any time while you are searching and shopping online (and not necessarily while you are using any product or service related to or downloaded with the Search Assistant Zango Software); the ads pop-up on your screen in a separate browser and/or are displayed in a Slider format similar to an Instant Messaging notification. The Search Assistant Zango Software neither stores any personally identifiable information nor records your browsing behavior. Please refer to Section 12 (below) for further information about our privacy policies.

7.2. Display of Advertising. The Search Assistant Zango Software starts automatically when you start your computer, runs in the background on your computer, displays an icon in your system tray while running, and may periodically direct you to our sponsors' websites and/or show you other advertisement form factors (including the Slider format). By installing and/or using the Search Assistant Zango Software you grant permission for Zango to periodically show you advertisements. The frequency of these advertisements (which will, for example, pop up on your screen in a separate browser and/or be displayed in a Slider format similar to an Instant Messaging notification) will be limited. Depending on Internet activity, active users may see about five (5) ads per day; some may see more, some may see fewer. To see a representative example of an advertisement that may be displayed, go to http://corporate.zango.com/info/examples.aspx, which is incorporated herein by reference. On occasion, you may search for a website and receive an error from your browser software indicating that the site cannot be found. When this occurs, the Search Assistant Zango Software includes a function that may redirect your web browser to our sponsor's websites based on the content of the website address, or URL, which you entered. You hereby consent to these actions. Please note that you may receive ads for Adult-oriented websites if you utilize keywords connected to, search for or view Adult websites. An Adult website is one that contains or references (whether via audio, video, audiovisual, images, sounds or text) any of the following: profanity, violence, blood and gore, weapons, use of alcohol, drugs, tobacco, online gambling, pornography, erotica, erotic images, nudity, sex, sexually explicit images, and sexual references. Zango does not permit ads that are themselves pornographic, nor does it permit advertisements for online "pay-for-play" gambling in the United States, Singapore, Australia, Israel or New Zealand. More generally, Zango does not permit ads promoting illegal products or illegal practices. If you believe you have received an ad that violates these prohibitions, please contact us at the web or street address listed in the last section of this EULA. We request that you enclose a screenshot of the ad (including its ad label) in your communication to us. For information on how you may be able to restrict certain types of sites and advertisements from opening in your browser, go to http://corporate.zango.com/info/ContentRestriction.aspx.

7.3. Identification of Advertisements. The advertisements that the Search Assistant Zango Software presents (including those provided in a separate browser window and displayed as Slider ads) are not endorsed by or affiliated with the websites that trigger their appearance. Advertisements that the Search Assistant Zango Software presents are branded with a Zango brand name in, for example, the browser window or in a conspicuous line of text at the bottom of a Slider ad so you will know that they are brought to you by Zango and the Search Assistant Zango Software and not by the Web pages you may be viewing when the advertisements are displayed.

8. Important Information Regarding Zango Outlook Toolbar Software. If the Zango Software consists of the toolbar for Microsoft Outlook/Outlook Express software (the "Zango Outlook Toolbar Software"), then the following terms and conditions apply to you:

Some Internet content and software publishers, including Zango, require that their users have certain of the Zango Software (including the Search Assistant Zango Software) installed on their computer in order to access their content or use their software applications ("Content Providers"). Uninstallation of such Zango Software may impact your ability to access such content and/or use such software.

10. Updates. Zango, in its sole discretion, may provide you with Updates to the Zango Software as part of this Agreement.

Be careful with it:

So in effect, you're installing something which could do anything to your computer - like pop through a silent virus or whatever? I'll look for another link...

I don't know about the happy hours part of your question mate, sorry I didn't go anywhere near the Zango thing (i.e. didn't download it), the link generator is working ok for me

Originally posted by drewhiggins[..]

You could use it without Zango? I just wanted to make people aware in case.

Fun Fact: Did you know you get dogs as well as cats for the download code?

Originally posted by WojBhoy[..]
You could, but see previous post for all the blurb I just posted lol

The first time I found that site, the Zango thing didn't come up, it was only when I clicked after you'd put the big old thing re. Zango that it came up.

Originally posted by drewhiggins[..]

I'm gonna try and write my own script for it, or at least find a way around those fucking cats (and dogs).
