Answer 2

I'm not going to write all the SPYBOT programs.....Just take it from the list somebody else left for you.....I use SPYBot Search and Destroy.....it's FREE and effective....and fast. Some recommend AdAware, but it's slow.......

1] Now, you gotta run Spybot S&D 1st to clear out any spyware.

2] Next if you have problems loading Internet Explorer, Use the RESTORE function in Windows XP and revert your computer to a date earlier than when this Zango 1st appeared....

3] Lastly, if it's REAL persistant.....You have to RUN "Regedit" and remove ALL "Zango" based occurances in your Registry....then restart your computer.

Consider Bitdefender AntiVirus/Spyware Blocker....rated BEST by several computer magazines....stops spyware from adding itself to the registry and warns you! Cost is better than most, about $30.00 ONLINE

Answer 3

Some people on here are actually advertisers for software, pretending to answer your question. So... don't seek a solution that hypes some software you have to pay for.

Zango is malware (bad stuff). First, I would try Ad-Aware by Lavasoft (free anti-spyware), then AVG antivirus (also free). Scans with these, or other decent tools, should fix this problem. If not, you can manually delete the files. This is the list:
%LOCAL_SETTINGS%\temp\zangotbinstaller.exe
%PROGRAM_FILES%\zango programs\zango toolbar\zangotb.dll
%program_files%\zango programs\zango toolbar\zangotbuninstaller.exe
%PROGRAM_FILES%\zangotoolbar\bin\4.8.2.0\dbenderc.dll
%program_files%\ZangoToolbar\Bin\4.8.2.0\ZbAds.dll
%PROGRAM_FILES%\zangotoolbar\bin\4.8.2.0\zbcoresrv.dll
%program_files%\ZangoToolbar\Bin\4.8.2.0\ZbHostIE.dll
%program_files%\ZangoToolbar\Bin\4.8.2.0\ZbSrv.exe
%program_files%\ZangoToolbar\Bin\4.8.2.0\ZbToolbar.dll
%program_files%\ZangoToolbar\Bin\ZbUninst.exe
%WINDOWS%\Local Settings\Temp\ZangoTBInstaller.exe
Setup[1].exe
zangotb.dll

You'll hate to hear this answer however it's important that you are made aware. Zango is one of the worst trojans that you can get on your computer. It has many varients that have the ability to not only do great harm to your machine, but can even change it's name to elude you in the event you coming looking to remove it. My advise to you is this: Go immediatly to www.google.com and in their search box, type in the word zango and you'll see some of the problems that it has caused in the recent past. Then go to www.Norton.com and in their search box, type in the same thing and hopefully they'll direct you to the tool that will help you to get rid of the problem. Best of luck.

It became more suitable via the Mozilla community previous to the launch of the legitimate Google Toolbar. i've got self assurance it provides all an analogous useful aspects different than for the PageRank exhibit. In my adventure it would not decelerate Firefox the way Google Toolbar does.
