Be VERY wary of this sh*te - Snap.do

[Jim McCreadie]

Snap.do is a browser hijacker that offers a web search engine (search.snap.do) and toolbar which are being promoted via other free programs, and once installed on your computer, they will hijack your browser homepage and replace your default search engine.
Fortunately there are a number of fixes available on-line, see

Against this bas**rd thing, I ran Nortons, Ccleaner, Malwarebytes and Spybot all to no affect! It was driving me crazy!
I located a program named "Spyhunter 4" which detected 18 associated files. HOWEVER, to [u]clean[/u] my system, the product had to be purchased. Was it worth $19.90 to have my laptop back? You bet it was! "SpyHunter 4" did [u]exactly[/u] as advertised - cleaned out the bas**rd plus other cookies not detected by the other program's.

So, if you are unlucky enough to get this little sh*te, you now know how to get rid of it!

$19.90? ouch... if anyone gets this let me know and I'll have a pop at removing it for free

Aye I know but toffs can afford to be careless.

Honestly, the da**ed thing was driving me up the wall and I know just enough about 'pooters to be DANGEROUS! I'm the type you don't let near your 'pooter!
