Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

Answer 2

Zango is some of the fastest growing Malware on the internet. 180solutions themselves claim 200,000 downloads a day, and 20 million plus installed instances of the software.
This software serves contextual ads to users while surfing the internet, and uses a keylogger and other methods to track your web usage. It slows down your computer, and also exposes your computer to harmful activity.

Answer 3

Ad-Aware SE Personal is a Lavasoft product and is free to download at www.download.com. Two other good programs are Spyboy Search & Destroy, and SpywareBlaster. Both of those programs protect your PC from spyware before it gets installed. Spybot can also scan your PC. I recommend running both and Ad-Aware and Spybot scan because I've seen cases where one finds something that the other doesn't. Make sure to update the definition files before running your scans. This will make sure you are searching for the most recent problems. I use all 3 of these programs on my PC and haven't had any spyware/adware problems since. Spybot and SpywareBlaster download sites can be found by using your favorite search engine. Avast! or AVG-Free are both free anti-virus programs, so I would recommend installing one of those as well.

Answer 4

1 Control Panel

4 Remove it!

Answer 5

Try installing Avast Anti-virus. It cleans not only virus's but malware and spyware. It also protects you when useing instant messageing programs like AIM or yahoo.
