What is qone8 Uninstall?
Qone8, or qone8.com, is a search engine owned by Taiwand Shui Mu Chih Ching Technology Limited and is promoted by browser hijackers. The search engine is claimed to be enhanced by Google and capable of retrieving relevant websites, intranets, databases and other online content. However, the fact that Qone8 can replace the home page and the search provider of popular Internet browsers without the user’s permission should not be disregarded. Browser hijacking is an instance of privacy violation, and, if you have no choice but to use Qone8, it is time to take some serious measures. In order to start using another search engine and prevent undesirable third parties’ content, you have to remove Qone8 from the PC first.

How does Qone8 work?
Qone8 can replace the home page and the search provider after installing some unreliable program or while browsing insecure websites. Every unrecognized link or advertisement that you are provided with on the Internet may pose some risk, and the more insecure websites you browse, the more it is likely that the computer will get infected.
Moreover, unlike other browser hijackers, including nationzoom.com and qvo6.com, the browser hijacker has its uninstaller; however, Qone8 changes the target line in the shortcuts of the browsers so that you cannot get rid of it. This feature of browser hijackers is very often shrugged off by computer users or sometime they are even not familiar with the fact that browser hijackers can modify browser shortcuts. If you have Qone8 on your browsers and have already tried to remove it manually, bear in mind that you have to remove the URL added to the Target line.
The search engine also displays sponsored links, which are not governed by Qone8. Qone8 does not endorse third parties’ websites, which means that you click on the sponsored links at your own risk. These links can take you to websites that contain offensive and objectionable websites, so, if you want to prevent new damage, yu should avoid clicking on those links and remove Qone8 from the computer.
According to Qone8, they seek that the search engine becomes the favorite Internet destination providing computer users with relevant information; however, by forcing computer users to use it or by deceiving them into changing the settings of the browsers, Qone8 has little chance of becoming a preferable search engine.
