when i go to find it in the list it is not there. but when i look down at the gray bar at the bottom of my screen were the start menu is, its symbol is on right of the gray bar….i dont understand!!!!nothing is helping!!!!
So its not on the add/remove programs (uninstall) list?
Have you searched Computer>C:>Program Files and browsed for Kangobox?
Or possibly Computer>C:>Windows
And again Computer>C:>Windows>Win32
The main folder should be titled “Kangobox” or “Click Potato”
The easiest way to go is to simply use search.
There are a ton of other ways to go about deleting Kangobox or rendering it useless:
Recover/Restore your computer to a previous time before Kangobox issues.
Windows Firewall Inbound and Outbound rules: Found under the “Advanced Settings” in “Windows Firewall”
