Snap.do

[SuperDave]

Standard Windows directory ‘Program Files’(where new applications are usually installed) doesn’t have a folder called ‘Snap.Do’, but another one called ‘LTD’ that doesn’t seem to be related to Snap.Do at a glimpse (in fact, this it belongs to Snap.Do). Main executable file of Snap.Do is located in a hidden path (C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local), in a folder called ‘Smartbar’.

Harry, did you look in ADD/Remove programs for any programs that were install just prior to this thing popping up?
Also try running MBAM again.

If you want to remove Snap.Do from your PC, please find below step-by-step instructions.

You can uninstall all those Java except 8-51. You can't uninstall either of those Snap.do? Are you logged in as Adm?
Do a search for this: C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Temp (XP users: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER_NAME\Local Settings\Temp)

And you can't find anything in your hard drive such as Program Files? MBAM is supposed to remove this pest.

[harry 48]

Nothing in files, I have tried as I know best to go through the PC.

I have tried MBAM a few times, no luck.

I guess its here to stay 

[SuperDave]

I'll do some more checking and will get back to you.
