How to Permanently Change qvo6 Homepage?

If you accidentally installed a program that changed you homepage to qvo6.com, then you should know the following. This is a pesky search engine that is distributed and promoted via shady techniques. It belongs to a software developed by PortaldoSites.com. The installer is even digitally signed by “Banyan Tree Technology Limited”. After a short investigation I revealed that this website is closely related to a browser hijacker, which doesn’t ask your permission to install in your system. It modifies computer’s settings and sets qvo6.com or search.qvo6.com as a home page and default search engine. Generally, this parasite can pose a harm for your computer regardless that it does not have a malicious code. The main reason that you should avoid qvo6.com is that it can easily point you to fake search results and redirect you to malware containing sites. Moreover, it continuously pop-up ads and may track you. The collected data might be used for other harmful activities. That is why, I recommend to remove qvo6.com and use other, more reputable, search engine.
