Uninstall Vongo from HP laptop?

vieya · 10-03-2009, 04:25 AM

So my sister has a HP laptop I just uninstalled this thing called Vongo. But it just keeps popping up saying windows is configuring vongo...? what the? It keeps that going constantly. I'm so fed up but yet I don't know what to do this is like a virus.

oh sorry I forgot to say that's the thing I tried because I googled it but it doesn't work. I tried all the steps it just won't leave. But thanks I'll keep looking. thank you so much!

There's almost certainly going to be something in the registry causing it to come back, or perhaps some other program needing it/reloading it. Have you run hijackthis to see if there are any things calling it?

I deleted the registry stuff. Thank god. But I'm kinda scared it'll come back. lemme restart my computer and see. Do you think I should actually use the recovery disk when I have problems or should I just install with windows xp disk instead. I mean I think they both have useless programs but at least windows won't have all the extras that aren't even neccesary like this vongo crap. ttyl.

You may want to download and run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, to confirm that its fully gone.
