Re: Zango Pop-ups

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

There are many free adware removal programs out there for this. I use
ad-aware6.0 and this will at least tell you if there is a program on your pc
and help you locate it. Then you can manually delete it.

Hope this helps.
