Qone8

What is Qone8?

Qone8 is a malicious browser hijacker which may affect Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers. The clandestine infection not only manipulates your web browsers and initiates unauthorized modifications of the home page or search engine, as it also exposes the security gaps of your operating system. Therefore, in most cases the existence of the browser hijacker indicates the existence of various other undesirable computer programs. It is extremely dangerous to have the browser hijacker and other undesirable computer programs running on the PC, and so Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers strongly recommend that you immediately perform the necessary removal procedures.

How does Qone8 run?

According to our researchers, Qone8 has been developed on the infamous Crossrider platform. You may be familiar with it if you have faced Savings Vault, Giant savings, Supreme Savings and other well-known browser plugins. In general, applications created on this particular platform should not be trusted blindly because many of them are linked to unfamiliar third parties. In many cases these programs are considered to be browser hijackers because they can change the home page and the search provider of your web browsers. If this has happened to you, and now qone8.com greets you whenever you launch your browser, the worst thing you could do is use the questionable search engine as a regular search tool. The search engine can route you to secondary sources and presented you with unreliable promotion.

If you have discovered Qone8 running on the computer, there is a great chance that the potentially unwanted programs (e.g. Omiga Plus, Desk 365) are running alongside. You should be cautious about these programs as well, and our researchers recommend that you delete these unreliable applications from the operating Windows system together with the plugin. Note that the add-on itself is presented as a new tab which acts as a search engine. As research shows, the application has been created by Taiwan Shui Mu Chih Ching Technology Ltd. The information below explains how you can remove it from the system.
