Remove Qone8.com

[ob]

I was trying to setup whatsapp on laptop at weekend and all of a sudden my browers IE and Chrome opened something called qone8 and snapdo.

I have googled it then tried to follow instructions to delete or remove but still there. Must suggested deleting from settings, also says uninstall from control panel-programs but neither appear in this list

It is full of ads and pissing me off

Any you guys got ways to remove this.

I have ran a full scan using Norton which came back clear and also ran spybot which again was clear.

I installed something called spyhunter but it wanted me to pay over $80 .

I am running Windows 8

Cheers

there are many ways to remove this if your technically minded but I would just do a system restore.


To restore your PC to an earlier point in time

1.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, then tap Search.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the top-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, then click Search.)

2.
Enter Control Panel in the search box, and tap or click Control Panel.

3.
Enter Recovery in the Control Panel search box, and then tap or click Recovery.

4.
Tap or click Open System Restore, and then follow the instructions.

hope this helps

Hopefully you'll have a restore point to go back too but even if you do I would go through every single step at this website :- http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-start-qone8-virus/. It'll check and remove anything else that you're better off without. I'm a bit obsessed about running a clean PC and the various tools even removed various PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) and reg entries from mine. They weren't necessarily doing anything but you're better off without them there.

You need to be really carefully when installing programs, a lot of freeware programs have multiple accept/cancel screens when installing. These aren't all related to the program itself but are actually asking for permission to install toolbars and browser home pages(at the very least).
Read every single page and don't be shy of unchecking the boxes or clicking decline, the program itself will still install but without the crud.

Thanks lads

I went with ColinLee's method and worked a treat.

Cheers again
