Snap.do

Snap.do is another common browser hijacker that spreads widely around the web. Snap.do uninstall is mandatory just like with any other hijacker of this kind. Unsuspected users get infected and have trouble with the removal of Snap.do. This particular infection is developed by Restoft.ltd and is allegedly used by more than 100.000 users daily.

Snap.do might be considered a browser helper object or in other words a browser plug-in, but the truth is that it only caries malicious traits that are in no way desired by the user.
