Techies: Please Help!

Shawnee123 · 09-26-2006, 08:19 AM

I was messing where I shouldn't have been messing (no, this does not belong in the internet porno thread) and found a quick game I wanted to try. I KNOW better, but it asked me to download something called Zango. I started to thinking I would just delete it later. Well, it all went to hell and I wanted to back out. Now, I am unable to completely delete it. It tried to create a toolbar on my internet connection. I have deleted all files I could find and it's still trying to create a toolbar (it says "finalizing installation" across the toolbar area constantly.) Zango is represented in my toolbar list, as is the Google I have always used. However, when I put Google up it doesn't come up, Zango keeps trying to "install." And unchecking the Zango toolbar has no effect. Oh, and "add/remove" programs comes up with a blank programs list, perhaps a security feature.

I was hoping one of you out there might have some idea what I can do to stop the madness. I wouldn't get into big trouble if I had to call in IT (most of them are my buds, anyway) but I sure would feel stupid!

Any ideas? Thanks!
