How to remove this intruder from Zoom

So, I’m looking for some help getting rid of this Zoom intruder.
I tried the usual route through the Control Panel, but no luck. There’s an icon there, and when you click "uninstall," it just loops back to the start without actually doing anything. I even tried reinstalling Zoom, but the second the download finishes, it just reattaches itself.
It’s nowhere in the Start menu, and I can't find any trace of it in my Program Files either.

Anyone have a clue?

Here’s what it looks like:


And here’s what I see in the Control Panel:

It’s happening on pretty much every single machine I touch, including mine, so I haven't the slightest clue how this mess is spreading...

Why not try running a scan on that intruder using the latest version of Malwarebytes:

Just download the tool and get it installed.

Run the scan and see if it picks anything up in the columns. If it does, just wipe it out using the Delete/Clean option, restart your computer through the program, and you should be all set.👍

If things are still acting up after that, there is one more thing you can try....

....CCleaner:

...Free version: 1.95

Install that, find the specific program that's giving you trouble, and perform a deep uninstall. Make sure to select every single item listed in the registry entries provided, and it shouldn't bother you anymore.

If you're looking to clean up some digital junk, you can grab Malwarebytes right here at this link: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/

Just go ahead and download the program then get it installed already.

Just run a scan and see if it flagged anything in those columns, then go ahead and wipe that thing out using the Delete/Clean option, restart your computer right from within the program, and honestly, that should be all there is to it.👍

If that guy keeps messing around and won't just leave us alone, there’s still one more move left on the table...

Look, if you’re actually trying to scrub a program off your hard drive without leaving a trail of digital garbage behind, you really shouldn't be wasting your time with the standard Windows tool; you need CCleaner. It’s pretty much the only way to ensure those stubborn registry keys and leftover junk files don't just sit there clogging up your system like old grease in a drain. Honestly, I don't know why anyone bothers with anything else when this gets the job done so decisively.
If you're looking to finally scrub those stubborn programs off your hard drive without leaving a massive trail of digital junk behind, you might want to grab the CCleaner tool from this link right here. It’s honestly one of those essentials if you don't want your system feeling sluggish after a few months of installing and deleting random software.

The latest free version is sitting at 1.95.

Look, just install the software, hunt down that specific program that's been giving you such a massive headache, and perform a thorough uninstallation. Make sure you check every single box in the registry cleanup options they present to you, and once you've wiped it clean, that nuisance shouldn't be bothering you ever again.

Thanks for putting in the work, man. I ran a scan with Malwarebytes and even went through everything using CCleaner, but honestly, nothing turned up. The real headache is that this thing isn't even a standalone program; it’s just some persistent advertisement baked right into Zoom. You can't find it because it isn't actually installed on the system—it only shows its face once you actually run the installer, at which point you have to go through the whole ordeal of installing it just so you can finally uninstall it.
Look, if you actually understood what was happening here, you’d realize the software didn't even install properly; the only thing it actually succeeded in doing was pinning that obnoxious ad to my screen and forcing Zoom onto my system.

Look, if you’re using CCleaner and it just won't let you uninstall that specific program on its own, what I usually do is perform a deep, thorough removal of Zoom—make sure you wipe every single trace from the registry—and then just try running the installer all over again.

That Uniblu thing isn't actually installed on my system; it's just that Zoom is shoving an ad in my face, and when I try to click it, my Norton antivirus blocks the site immediately...
I already tried using CCleaner to scrub everything clean, but the second I run the installer for the new Zoom, that damn ad pops right back up again.

So, I just finished setting up a fresh install of Windows 10 a couple of days ago and got Zoom up and running—then this popped up. It looks like it's built right into the Zoom software itself, which is pretty annoying, honestly. Anyway, just a heads-up: don't click on it. That’s really all there is to it.

That isn't actually integrated into Zoom; it’s just some sketchy advertisement for a site that ESET keeps blocking because it's flagged as malicious or infected...
