Victim's Story about Rover Redirect:
He downloaded several programs on his computer by accident and then he noticed that Rover Redirect controlled his two browsers: Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and Chrome. He uninstalled every program he installed that night from the program list on his control panel but he still got Rover Redirect on both his browsers. Then he tried again. He managed to get his origninal homepage back on IE but not on Google Chrome. So he uninstalled Chrome and then reinstalled. Without luck, Rover Redirect returns. And no matter what he does on Chrome settings, it just won't budge its ass. Now he notices that Rover Redirect has changed his search engine. So whatever he googles something, it redirects him and his is not getting the same kind of results he used to get. He wants to end the pain but he is already at his wits.
