) Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel





2) Double click on Add/Remove Programs





3) Find "Zango" in the list of installed programs and click on Change/Remove to uninstall it. There may also be a program called Media Gateway, remove it as well.





Reboot your PC and see if it has gone.


If you are unable to find it in Add/remove progs and If for any reason, Zango did not completely uninstall, click on the following link to download and run the uninstaller.

Bad newbie.|||My brother installed Zango onto my computer, don't worry the program isn't actually a virus, but it comes with lots of popups and stuffs, it's really annoying.





I would suggest downloading MalwareBytes Anti-malware, it should get rid of all the popups and stuff, it's a great anti-malware program, heres the link:

I use the free version, the link is to the free version, the only bad thing about the free version is that you can't schedule scans, I use AVG free alongside this, which can do scheduled scans.|||you may have an anti-virus program on your computer but you have to update it daily and scan daily|||Download, install and run SuperAntiSpyware.
