I used to be able to play the Dress-Up games easily. But I know notice there is a warning saying I need to download Zango before I can play. Is this program safe, and will it harm my computer? Thank you very much in advance.

That's just an advertisement. You don't have to download it at all.

Actually, to access some pages on this site you do need to download Zango.

It's reccomended that you don't download it though.

You can find the submissions within those sections by using the search bar, which is located in the banner at the top of the page.

Yeah you do need it for some of the stuff on Ng but DONt download it. it gave me something called Yeild manager which all it did was keep putting pop ups on my computer- other than more pop ups that wont be controlled by pop up blocker though its safe. i guess its just how bad you want to play dress up dolls =)

Zango WILL harm your computer. Anything that tries to force itself onto your computer is definitely malware, and Zango did try to force-install some spyware on my system.

What? And how the hell did you come to this conclusion?

1.) Why would Macromedia go through the time and trouble to do that?

2.) How would it tell Macromedia if you're stealing flash?

3.) Why would you be compelled to say something like that?

I never found the content in the "Zango needed" section (aka "Adult") really worth the trouble of having to uninstall Zango and all the fun adware gadgets it packs with it...

In the end, though, it's your choice...

If you search the portal for the games you're trying to play you don't need to download Zango to play them. Have you ever thought that perhaps Newgrounds isn't the best place to find pornography?

Kind of sad, really.

I tried to access a Zango site once. I downloaded it, with my virus scanner, spyware scanner, and all that other crazy shit I've got, and it is not safe.

Don't do it.
