Program uninstaller does remove all files. Not sure what the program is meant to do but on a clients laptop it prevented Windows drivers from installing - Access Denied error message. All fine once this was removed.

This is a web browser search and home page modifier (hijacker) application that is designed to install a browser add-on and modify the browsers settings in order to direct search revenue. By default the program will change the search provider to default-search.net and is part of the Linkey add-on and extension via the Linkeyproject.com.
