Browser keep going to search.snap.do/feed.helpbar.com
Hi,
I have set my home page to www.google.co.uk but each time I open a new tab the browser gos to :
http://feed.helperbar.com/?publisher=W3i&dpid=W3i&co=GB&range=73&searchtype=nt&isid=9860
followed swiftly by :
http://search.snap.do/?publisher=snapdo&feedid=infospace&dpid=2&isid=9860
I have run spybot search & destroy and removed what it found but nothing has changed.
Can anyone help?
Regards,
Jim.
free manual snap.do removal
-- download and install Spybot S&D (free version)
-- Download Glary Utilities at glarysoft.com (free version)
-- Open Glary Utilities
-- Click Utilities.
-- Click Modules
-- Click Internet Assistant
-- Click Current Settings
-- Look under "Current Settings" for anything showing "snap.do"
(i.e. start page, search page, default page URL)
-- If the "restore setting" is what you want, click those boxes containing snap.do
-- A Spybot S&D notice stating "Important: Registry change" click "remember" box, and click "yes" or "confirm" or whatever shows up like that, it will be on the left-hand side
-- Click "Restore Settings"
-- Restart your browser.
-- This should have fixed it in all browsers.
NOTE: I may have missed a click or two, but you get
Snapdo home page and start tab easy solution (Chrome)
I had the same problem in chrome. I'd uninstalled all the software, run malwarebytes and gotten rid of everything but the start page for a new tab and home page kept going to snapdo. Fix is so easy I'm mad at myself for not figuring it out. My problem and solution was through Chrome, not firefox or IExplorer, but try to find equivalent settings.
To fix the startup page:
In Chrome (2013) go to Settings - On Start Up - change "Open a specific page or pages" option to a different page (or, as I do select "Open the new tab page")
To fix the home page:
In Chrome (2013) go to Settings - Appearance - Show Home Button - Click "Change" and set it to whatever you want the home page to be.
Sorry, don't know how to change these settings in Firefox or IExplorer.
Remember, this is after you uninstall the software and run malwarebytes or something similar and have all that cleared up.

I am having the same problem as Jim, except the website that comes up in place of my homepage - when opening tabs in firefox is
http://websearch.pu-results.info/?r=2013/05/21
I have gone to
'startup tools'
then 'browser pages'

however as you can clearly see the
http://websearch.pu-results.info/?r=2013/05/21

plus; I dont recognize any of those pages shown under firefox
am I in the wrong setting?
or is this even the right program ?
any assistance would be much appreciated thank you
