Zynga is constantly arriving on my desktop & Task Bar. I've tried Google but yet to find a good fix. I don't use facebook or twitter at all. This annoying icon keeps on keeping on. Your help, please. thanks Rosco

Hi rustynomad,

First I'd be sure that you have removed any add-ons that might contain zynga. It sounds like your aren't talking about in Firefox only though. I'd also try using Malwarebytes to get rid of it and you can check out this thread I found:

http://www.overclock.net/t/916492/solved-w7-how-do-i-remove-zynga/10

There is some information in there too that might be of use.

Hopefully this helps!

Hi Matt_G again Sorry I lost the Post connection Not sure if the beginning of this was posted or not. To Continue.... I removed "Smart View" using Control Panel/Programs & Features. Did another search for Zynga on Boot drive - No results for Zynga. PC restart. No Desktop Icons for Zynga . Another search on boot drive - no Zynga . Hope it stays that way. Not sure where I originally got stuck with Smartview or its purpose, but I'm happy without it , so far. Hope that's some help to everyone with the annoying Zynga. Good luck Rustynomad
