Someone installed malware on your Mac. It may have been yourself. That's how virtually 100% of all malware/adware gets on a Mac. The user (or someone else with access to your Mac) installs software from a legal aggregate site such as softonic.com, or illegal software from a torrent, P2P or pirate site. The software you wanted gets installed, but also whatever else was part of that installer.

Jangogram is mostly invasive adware. Download and run MalwareBytes for Mac. It's main function is to find and remove such garbage.

How ZipRar infected your Mac

ZipRar is available for download on its website: www.zipraronline.com, however it is not the main distribution channel. Adware catches its victims by creating multiple bogus domains with landing pages, for users, that search for free file-archiving software. ZipRar is offered as free download, but its installer is bundled with adware, browser hijackers or rogue Mac optimisation apps. As a result, developers get paid for infecting the computer, and Mac users stay one-on-one with the stubborn app. Use instructions and utilities below to uninstall ZipRar and protect your Mac.

Didn't address the main question. I have no idea where ZipRar came from. A search of the Internet turns up zilch for any item by that name.
