Remove Zwunzi

Zwunzi is an adware application that is categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). It comes bundled with other software that normally is not malware and its primary function is to redirect user searches to its homepage. The most common application that the Zwunzi will get installed along with is a free mp3/wma/ogg converter that works very well in a legitimate fashion. However, Zwunzi will perform its actions separately and install a browser plugin that redirects the user to the Zwunzi homepage whenever the user attempts to search the internet via a search engine. If the user attempts to delete Zwunzi, it will allow a normal web search once or twice before reverting back to performing the web search using the Zwunzi search engine.
