3. run malwarebytes.
4. run ccleaner.

go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features

take a close look at the list of installed applications. Remove the irrelevant apps.

Probably you are using "express installation" option most of the time, and accidentally installed malware at the same time

installing cn programs always means installing other programs in behind

must be very careful when doing setup, don't juz click next next.

for QQ, i only pick international version, not cn version.

go to google chrome settings page, click on advance option, click to reset browser to default settings.
Voila. done.

If editing registry and changing the default page doesn't work, check the program shortcut that you are using. Sometimes they add the address in the shortcut itself.

hello.. it happen to me and this is what I did:

1) Uninstall qvod player
2) After uninstall, there still some program running to hijack the browser. You need to stop in the task manager something call qvod webservices.
3) After stop the backgroup process, remove the file in "C:\Program Files (x86)\QvodPlayer" and "C:\ProgramData\QvodPlayer". Note: ProgramData is hidden file, enable view hidden file to view it. Btw, I'm using windows 8.1. Directory might be different depending OS. Please also take note if you not able to remove the files inside the folder, please rename it to something else and then delete it.
4) Reset you browser. Eg: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-...x-most-problems.
5) Check if your browser still redirect to hao123 with the above steps. So far my browser back to normal after done above steps.
6) If still not working. Try your luck and follow this steps "http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-hao123-virus/"

Usually came with chinaware like QVOD, PPS, 360 and many more.

Check Task Scheduler for hidden startup program.
