This will COMPLETELY remove snap.do from your life.

MAKE SURE TO ADD THIS TO YOUR BOOKMARKS TOOLBAR by clicking Bookmarks, bookmark this page, Name it, and where it says folder, choose bookmarks toolbar, then click done.

(Read all the way for homepage recovery!!!!!!!! (Works no matter what!))

First, download Advanced systemcare from it's website download links. (Please use official website, you only need the free version.)

After installing, double click Uninstall programs from your desktop.

Scroll down to snap.do.

Click uninstall.

When uninstalling if it asks about REMOVING anything CAREFULLY click YES. If it asks about KEEPING anything click NO.

After uninstalling MAKE SURE TO CLICK ---POWERFUL SCAN---

(The caps lock is because some people don't bother reading properly, then complain because something went wrong.It's catch the attention of these people.) ^^'

Aferwards, restart your computer, and restart your browser three times.

Repeat this process 4-5 times.

After a while if you don't notice anything, great! It worked!


Destroying Snap.do Homepage Takeover! [Firefox Only]---------

Click Tools, and then click addons. click Get addons, then search Redirector (It should have a picture with a gray background and the letters EE in white) (This may have changed, it is currently version 2.8.1)

Then restart Firefox, and click Tools, click Redirector.

In the page that open, click New Redirect and enter what you see in this image: http://i.imgur.com/bC6herK.png

The address changes every now and then, so change http://search.snapdo.com/?st=hp&q= in the include pattern box to http://search.snapdo.com/?q= or whatever shows up in the address bar if you ever see snap.do as your homepage again.

Now, PLEASE rate this 5 stars or whatever, and MAKE SURE TO ADD THIS TO YOUR BOOKMARKS TOOLBAR by clicking Bookmarks, bookmark this page, Name it, and where it says folder, choose bookmarks toolbar, then click done.
