Zango advertising software work around

As some of you may have noticed Zango is a company which blocks access to certain sites which require their software to be installed. I’m sure the software is probably safe but I just don’t want to clog up my PC with rubbish. I found a work around after trying to gain access to a site as I noticed Java running. This gave me an idea.

I turned off all the Java pluggins and I could access the site without installing the software. After gaining access you can turn Java back on. This was the case in Firefox. The way to do it is tools-options-content and then untick Java & Java script. I then researched this and found that people did not have this problem with Safari or Google Chrome as it uses a different engine.

Hope this is useful

What is this?

Welcome to GarethTech, the one stop shop for Technology &  TV news and reviews…well sort of

I’d like to start this blog with what content I will be covering. I have found from day to day that I need to download new software and fix problems with my PC. This is why the majority of posts will be related to personal experience.  I’ll tend to post about fixes to problems which are not easily found with a Google search.

The second topic of this blog will be TV. I’ll be commenting on new episodes and news that I learn about the following TV shows: Lost, 24, Prison Break, Heroes, Damages, Family Guy, American Dad, Worst Week, Flight of the Conchords, Pushing Daisies and Desperate housewives.

OK well I hope you like my posts and please subscribe and leave comments. I’ll be updating my blog as often as possible as long as there are readers.

Thanks

Gareth
