Qvo6 is distributed via unfair techniques and it has been known as a browser hijacker script which doesn't ask for permission before getting into your system. It poses a malicious threat to your system in the long run so I simply suggest you remove it immediately when you find out your browser is hijacked by this Qvo6.
So How Do I Know When My System Is Attacked By Qvo6 Malicious Script.
When you launch your browser, instead of the homepage of your browser to display, the Qvo6.com will display as homepage.
The UI looks like a search engine but you cannot rely on their results because they can easily return forged search results or redirect you to another site that promotes malicious programs. Your system get's infected by this malware when you download and install some free software’s on your computer from the internet.
