It is worth saying that in certain cases the occurrence of qvo6 on your browser is your fault. You see, there are many software download sites these days, and users sometimes or even often visit them for downloading various programs of their choice. Surely, some of these programs are excellent and useful, but their installers may be bundled with that of qvo6 browser add-on. Failure to uncheck the respective box during the installation process results in appearance of www.qvo6.com as the start page of your browser. Thus, this page was implanted into Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer through your direct participation.

Considering the point expressed in the paragraph above, make sure that you always opt for the custom installation of any software. It is also recommended that you scan the installer of this software ahead of time, before installation, with the help of some reliable security software. So, while installing anything, make sure there are no any additional installs offered. If they are indeed present, then uncheck the options responsible for their installation.

Regretfully, in some cases qvo6 redirection problem may occur on the computer without user’s participation. So, it happens that user turns on the computer, opens the browser to search for something and suddenly www.qvo6.com comes up as the start page, instead of the common browser’s blank start page. All search queries thus will be redirected through http://www.qvot.com, and this is not a very pleasant experience. The creators of qvo6 promise to really enhance the search experience of users who installed it; yet, we can’t say anything positive or negative about this statement. It might be indeed so or it might be not exactly as promised by them. What we do know is that it is unfair and not good to bring any add-ons into browsers without letting users know about this, without making them make such decisions. For this reason we do consider qvo6 on your browser as a potentially unwanted software.

  5. Well I am going to have to thank you as Trojan Killer did worked and eliminated the threat that I had on my laptop since I been back from Europe. I had been dealing with this qv6 for 4 months and Trojan Killer did get rid of it. Congratulations!!! And I don't mind purchasing your product as I have seen what it can do. So maybe the others have more problems involved than just the qv6. Thank you GridinSoft for your Trojan Killer.
