I will assume you meant mobogenie
The easiest way to do it is to install adware removal tools and scan your computer
A regular antivirus may not remove all components of this program
Here are some guides to uninstall it using antiadware softwares:

To remove it manually, first uninstall mobogenie from windows
This seems to be pretty straight forward

Then you will probably need to remove the browser extensions manually to get of the browser hijaking features

It seems mobogenie gets installed while installing other freewqare programs. If that is how it entered your computer please carefully check all the dialog boxes that pop up during the program install to make sure that you do not install it again by accident.

Malwarebytes is a great tool for removing misc malware but for last case scenarios, combofix always does the trick.
