You'll probably get the info on how to get rid of this by going to www.google.co.uk and searching for "get rid of qone8"

It's a virus that sets itself as your default browser Janz. After you reset it back, it redirects all over again.

Have a look here .............

Try the manual fix first, rather than having to download software

[Buenchico]

Download, install and run the free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:

(When installing, take care to deselect the option to install a trial of the 'PRO' version).

The go to https://www.google.co.uk/
and tell your browser that you want to use it as your home page. (You've not told us which browser you're using but that's normally achieved by going to Tools > Options [or 'Internet Options'] and looking for the option to 'Use current page' as your homepage).

If that doesn't work, try the far more long-winded instructions here:

It's not necessarily a virus he's downloaded. It's quite possible he's downloaded something which has requested that he set it up as his homepage during the download.

Quite often on downloads, especially free ones, you'll get a tickbox telling you that Product X will be your new browser homepage unless you untick it.

To remove this pest you will have to purchase Spy Hunter 4 for $39.99 US which will remove it for you. I have used it to remove the qvo6 browser high jack virus and it should remove this one as well.
