Tango Toolbar is a type malware that arrives in the form of a toolbar. Tango Toolbar typically spreads via peer-to-peer file sharing networks and disguises itself as a toolbar with a pop-up blocker, a built in search function and inline related keywords search. Tango Toolbar is able to surreptitiously enter a computer system and it is not that simple to manually remove. Once Tango Toolbar is inside a system it will redirect a user to advertising websites and display annoying pop-ups. Tango Toolbar also has spyware functionality therefore it should be removed with a decent anti-spyware application upon detection. Users should also note that Tango Toolbar is not related to the marketing company called Brand Tango.

Norton Internet Security didn't detect it, nor make any effort to remove it. I spent an hour "chatting" with technical support @ Symantec. Their solution was for me to wade thru a 63 page manual or pay them an additional $99 for them to eradicate it.

I had the idea that Symantec/Norton was watching for stuff like this, but apparently not.

YOUR RIGHT, I GOT THAT TANGO/TOOLBAR & NORTON DIDNT STOP IT OR DO ANYTHING TO GET RID OF IT.
