Most of these guides did not help me uninstall it, as it changed many of the registry keys associated with IE.. I went through the whole registry on a friends computer, everything that had to do with Internet Explorer had traces of snap do attached.. Once i deleted most of these, it disappeared from "manage add ons" in IE..
How do you do that on the infected machine ?
1.Go to add/remove programs and uninstall snapdo..
2.You will then have to manually go into your "browsers" to reset your search pages/start up pages, and uninstall any add ons
3.You have to open Windows Registry Editor. Simply search for regedit and run it as administrator.
Once there, navigate to, and delete the following Windows registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main → delete "Search Bar"
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search → delete "Default_Search_URL"
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search → delete "SearchAssistant"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl → delete "Default"
Then, navigate to, and modify the following Windows registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
Right-click the "Search Page" key and select Modify. Change key value data to: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=54896
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\{006ee092-9658-4fd6-bd8e-a21a348e59f5}
Right-click the "URL" key and select Modify. Change key value data to:
http://www.bing.com/search?q={searchTerms}
I found editing the registry first actually made it easier to reset browser search/ and remove the add ons.. Even if you completely reset IE, without doing these regedit's, snap do will still be in your "manage add ons"..
