I had a problem with snap.do becoming installed on my win 7 machine. Ran uninstall, ccleaner and spybot which removed the problem, however the name snap.do engine still remains in control panel features and programs. I have also done a registry edit and can find no software relating to this program. How do I remove this name from programs listed in control panel.
📎 AI Summary:
The forum discussion centers around removing the browser hijacker "snap.do" from a Windows 7 system. The original poster struggled to fully delete the program, even after uninstalling and registry edits, but successfully removed it with tools like AdwCleaner and Malwarebytes. Subsequent advice suggests using Revo Uninstaller in Advanced mode, with a note that the free version primarily handles 32-bit software, and a recommendation to upgrade to Pro for 64-bit removal. Overall, the thread reflects a community effort to troubleshoot and effectively eliminate the malware.

That is quite a serious infection. It takes quite a few steps to completely remove a browser hijacker.
You might wanna try your luck with this one and follow the steps carefully. Good luck!

No problem Bass.That is the same site that helped me remove the Right Coupon (pop-up ads) virus from my PC not long ago.

Revo uninstaller is a great removal utility but it only removes 32 bit software, which most are. In order to remove 64 bit software you'll need to upgrade to the Pro version of Revo uninstaller.
