How to remove Hqpcscanner.com hijacker

Malware Description:
For the moment, Hqpcscanner.com domain is in active rotation as the malvertising campaign of SaveSoldier rogueware is getting more intense and aggressive. The technical side of Hqpcscanner.com lies in the fact that traffic is driven to it through forced redirections accomplished by trojan viruses. Hqpcscanner.com hooks people up by its fake online scanner “sponsored” by SaveSoldier. The scan is a fake so do not bother trying to follow its recommendations and believing the returned scan results. The ads and the scan results window displayed on Hqpcscanner.com pursue the same old objective – to attract you into installing and buying the license for SaveSoldier malware thinking it will remove all the infections located on your PC. Whatever is causing browser redirections to Hqpcscanner.com, you should immediately get rid of it because the hijacker will keep interfering more obsessively with your online surfing and your PC related activities. You need to pay particular attention to the presence of trojans in your system – it’s trojans that usually play such tricks on one’s browser and reconfigure the system that way. And do stay away from the program promoted on Hqpcscanner.com (i.e. SaveSoldier) because it’s potentially dangerous and definitely system-deteriorating.
