How to let surfer know if he has zango installed?

[xlogger]

No drama please.

Lets say a surfer has zango installed. Is there anyway to let him know he has it, on ones site, without redirecting him?

Like on the top of the site it can say "warning you have bla..." and thats only visible to people who have zango.

I check their useragent and if I see Zango in the string then I post em a message.

To elaborate, I use ColdFusion and use this code:

<CFIF  ("#findnocase("zango", "#CGI.HTTP_USER_AGENT#")#" is not "0")>

ZANG WARNING MESSAGE 

</cfif>

Yea that you have to ask Smokey what the php version of it is... I believe it has been posted on GFY before.

Smokey put some Javascript action in this thread:

----------------------------------

This next script does the same thing but instead of just informing them it takes them to a page of your choice , this way if you wanted you could make money by selling them some adware removal program ( again it doesnt disrupt traffic in any way )

---------------------------------------

<script>
var agt=navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
if (agt.indexOf("zango")!=-1) {
alert("WARNING - do not close this message - please read -ACCESS TO THIS WEBSITE HAS BEEN DENIED You have what many people call dangerous spyware known as ZANGO installed on your system.

window.open('http://www.google.com/search?q=remove+zango','_top');
}
</script>
