What do I do to permanently remove 180Solutions.Zango?

Question

I always do daily antispy scans but Windows Defender BETA, Ad-Aware, and Spybot-Search and Destroy never EVER detect 180Solutions.Zango, but Yahoo! Antispy does. I really hate it and I really want to get rid of it and make it stop bugging my computer so much. What should I do to permanently remove this annoying piece of adware, once and for all?

I don't know why my computer keeps on being infected with 180Solutions.Zango, and I don't have anything that was made by Zango at all. Just telling me to remove it from Add and Remove Programs will not help.

Answer 3

Well for starters, Windows Defender is no longer "Beta". It is pure junk just like Microsoft's platforms. Ad-Aware Se Personal, has been around long before anybody ever thought of antispyware. Now for some unknown reason they have really gone down hill. Spybot-Search and Destroy, the owner is a personal freind out of Germany. Friend or no friend, I tested his antispyware program that he an is students in a Unviersity of Germany built. All it does is find a few cookes, that are usually false-positive and "DOS", they he claims will fix, but never fixes. Plus the scanner likes to freeze alot.

Either one of these two program that I use in my pc will rid you of 180 Solutions Zango. http://www.ewido.net This program was out of Germany, now purchased by AVG, out of Prague. The name has been changed from ewido to AVG antispyware. You can download the program an if you don't purchase the program in thirty day evaluation period it will become free. They just remove the background scanner and the auto updates. You can update on a manual basis.

Also you can download from http://www.emsisoft.com This company is out of Austria. You will want to download their free verson of A2Squared antimalware. They will ask you for your email address so they can send you a free key. The key is good for life an any new verson of the free version you can download and use the same key. I use the purchase version, so I don't know if you have to update on a manual basis.

Both programs above scan all 195,000 objects in my system.

Something that you will not get with Windows Defender final version which is out by the way. Or Ad-Aware Se Personal or Spybot Search & Destroy.

180Solutions.Zango is a very nasty spyware that is loaded into your registry keys. If you were to look into your registry keys you will find atleast 100 assoicated keys of every kind of porno, and other garbabe websites.

Don't know what platform you use from Microsoft. Some platforms for some unknown reason will allow this spyware to stay in your registry no matter what antispyware program you use.

Here is one program that I used for nine years, not free but you can use it to go into your registry on an auto basis and remove this spyware. Going into your registry on a manual basis is not safe idea. As one mistake you will have to reformat you system.

If you are smart you can use Registry First Aid during the evaluation period and remove the 180 solution. Here are the instructions to remove:

You can trust this program as I have used it for nine plus years an never once has RFA, removed a good registry key. Only the bad ones. Plus all deleted keys are backup to a file. Where you can find. Start, search files, type in "backup", when your system scans, you will see RFA backups. Open and you can delete or destroy the deleted keys.

After you download from http://www.rosecitysoftware.com The program will perform a complete backup of your registry key. Then you run Check registry for errors. Delete all check marks with a green, yellow and red box. Don't worry, you have a back up.

After that is done, now you want to go to the hard part. Where you see "Search the registry", type in 180Solutions.Zango an then click on add. (This spyware is very nasty, so it wants to be avoided and not found. Now delete what you type in at the very top and type in 180solutions only and click on add. Now delete again at the top and type in Zango, now delete again and type in zango. You should have four different versons typed in and see a check mark on the left side of the page.

Now you are ready to scan. After the scan all of the associated keys for 180Solution.Zango will come up.

Left click with your mouse over each description that you see on your screen and drop down to where you will see "Delete String", than delete all. They will no longer have any value in your registry keys. And they should be deleted. Any registry key that does not have a "value", can not harm you.

If your financial situations allows you should purchase RFA, it is excellent for cleaning out your registry keys of unused keys or bad keys and especially to clean out a virus or spyware that has "value", in your registry.

Again you really have to try in lower case, usually 180solutions.zanto or 180solutions only. (Does not want to be found, but you can find it. The lower case is better then trying upper case).

Hope I have helped you.
