Please can someone give me advice of how to get rid of that awful browser snap.do. It keeps on hijacking my Google Chrome and I have tried absolutely everything to get rid of it.

Why does it keep coming back after I have deleted it? I have tried to get rid of it through via programmes and features on the control pad but can't seem to find it listed on there?
I then followed one of the removal instructions from Google,it got rid of it only temporarily,and it has come back again!

Has anyone in the know got any suggestions please? I am tearing my hair out:eek:

    Try AdwCleaner

    Using AdwCleaner is very simple. Simply download the program and run it. You will then be presented with a screen that contains a Search and Delete button. The Search button will cause AdwCleaner to search your computer for unwanted programs and then display a log showing the various files, folders, and registry entries used by these programs.

    To delete these unwanted programs simply click on the Delete button, which will cause AdwCleaner to reboot your computer and remove the files and registry entries associated with the various adware that you are removing. On reboot, AdwCleaner will display a log showing the files, folders, and registry entries that were removed.
