Miscellaneous laptop discussions : Vongo removal from HP laptops
Vongo--again
by grandpabilli - 8/19/07 8:22 PM In reply to: vongo removal by photog86Your first set of instructions didn't work at all for me--tapping F8 did absolutely nothing.
I could follow your second set of instructions only so far--through Step 3. When I got to Step 4, Vongo was not listed as a program file, even though it definitely is installed on this HP laptop.
Do you have more suggestions to get rid of this virus???
Thanks--
thanks it worked
by pyrite5916 - 11/21/07 4:49 PM In reply to: vongo removal by photog86on my new HP (pavillion) notebook I followed your second suggestion, however I could not delete the folder ("you don't have permission"), and - within the folder - all but 16 mostly .dll files.
I downloaded the utility (administrator login and permission required), all these file dissappeared in the Vongo folder. After that, I could delete the folder as well.

Vongo removal from HP Pavilion laptop
by sfq96 - 3/1/09 7:12 PM In reply to: vongo removal by photog86Another successful Vongo removal. The instructions to Kate from Photog86 was great. I had to install the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to get it done but that did the trick. Thank you.
Worked great

To uninstall the Update Manager utility
by newscientist2000 - 1/1/07 1:49 PM In reply to: tried and tested by mastkalanderIf you want to kill Installashield Update then try the installashield remover program here
http://support.installshield.com/kb/view.asp?articleid=Q111106
or more specifically
http://saturn.installshield.com/isus/310/sdk/uninstallupdatemanager.exe
I got error messages after using uninstalling vongo, but this stopped installashield triggering a vongo reinstall cycle every boot.
HP should post a removal tool on its website because its damn inconvenient/hard to remove this software.

by newscientist2000 - 1/1/07 1:54 PM In reply to: To uninstall the Update Manager utility by newscientist2000The above step/uninstaller utility works by killing ISUSPM.exe, and is an alternative to using MSCONFIG.
It does not kill ISSCH.exe
I agree HP should give us a complete removal tool
by Joey301 - 1/1/07 6:06 PM In reply to: To uninstall the Update Manager utility by newscientist2000With all the complaints that I have seen about Vongo, and all of the ways to get rid of it. I am surprised that HP has not given us a one step method. After reading all of the methods here, I just don't want to start mucking with it.

I HATE VONGO
by sugaroverload371 - 1/5/07 9:51 PM In reply to: I agree HP should give us a complete removal tool by Joey301I HATE VONGO, can that be any more blunt. This monstrosity of a thing/virus, has wasted more of my time than I thought possible. I have tried to delete it and all of its files and now I have to resort to delving deeper into my computer to pull out the culprit and kill it once and for all.
jeeze HP, have some sense..

if you do a search on microsoft
by rexlperrry - 1/5/07 10:29 PM In reply to: I HATE VONGO by sugaroverload371Theres better tips on microsoft website boards on how to completely get it off your computer. Im fixing to have to remove it again , because im have to use my recovery cds to reinstall the whole operating system back to factory new. i got a new hp pavilion 9000t duo core 2 17 inch. When i got it i whent to defrag the hard drive after a week. hp puts a partition on the 92gb hard drive {100/] the partition was complely fregged in red with only 11% left to defreg , It takes 15% to defrag. so i deleted the whole partition drive e;/. Laptop run great , its only the quickplay buttons and cd-rom from media center that will not work offline. Ive gotten so much junk off , its runs superfast. msn money, vongo,wild targent games, etc alot. my hard drive has 83gb free out of 92.5 gb , without norton other files program , i now have 73% memory free, before it was 50%. out of 1gb. also have 2.33ghz duo core 2 processor ready to put in with 2 mhz ram. laptops have gotten easy to take apart and repair or upgrade. good luck my friends
