I've never installed Verizon's movie downloading service Vongo, at least not
intentionally, because I've never had a need for it.

But take a look at this composite image.

I noticed that when I start my WinXP laptop, the box on the left appears and
seems to keep resetting itself several times as if something's repeatedly
tryin' to install Vongo.

I looked in Add/Remove Programs and Vongo was listed (size 30MB), so I tried
to uninstall it.

I got the box in the middle and a few seconds after I clicked OK, I got the
box on the right.

Same result when I clicked Change, Next, Remove, Next, it just happened a
little faster.

I used Start/Search/For Files And Folders to find and delete anything
"Vongo" from the C:/ drive and then emptied the recycle bin.

I checked Start/Run/msconfig and there's nothing in there at all that
appears to be related to Vongo, including the unchecked stuff.

I restarted my system and got the above mentioned box of the left again.

I again checked Start/Run/msconfig and there's nothing in there at all that
appears to be related to Vongo, including the unchecked stuff.

I used Start/Search/For Files And Folders to search for anything "Vongo" on
my entire system, not just the C:/ drive, including my 250G external hard
drive that I use for storage. No results at all.

I tried Add/Remove programs again, found that Vongo is still listed, tried
to remove it, got the same results as before.

Now that I have told you everything I know, my question is simple. How to I
get Vongo off of my system?
