I got Snap.do browser changer while trying to get updated drivers. with windows7. It can be found at: computer/local disk(C:)/users/owner/appdata/local/smartbar/application/
It is tough to remove from here but you will probably find it has installed NDde.dll authored by Brian Gideon. A search on him shows keylogger fame see
http://regrunreanimator.com/research/category/browser-toolbar/smartbar
At that site you will see Linkury mentioned.
search them and you will find.
http://www.uninstall-linkury.com/ now there it tells you to look under installed programs ? look under the publishers in add/remove programs for linkury and delete that program. and I think that will solve your problems. also if you see spigot in publishers remove that its an addon toolbar > unless you want it?
cheers rick

More than likely you have a rootkit that has attached itself to your operating system. Malware like this tough to get rid of with any security software. I suggest you go to Google then search for “snap.do removal tool”. You will find several links there that can help you.

What are some ways to get rid of this Snap.do? When I turned on my computor this morning a window popped up called “fileRestore” and like 20 other windows popped up. I am sure that these are all viruses, but how did i get the Snap.Do and all of these viruses. I use MalwareBytes and it gets rid of it, but then it pops back up the next day. HELP!!!
