How to remove Jqn.opttools.net?

Brief introduction about Jqn.opttools.net:

Jqn.opttools.net is a notorious computer virus which belongs to the browser hijacker family. Even though Jqn.opttools.net has a decent interface, you should never use it to do the search inquires and keep it longer in your PC.

As one of the browser hijackers, the main purpose of  Jqn.opttools.net is to increase internet traffic for certain websites. Thus, once invading into the target PC, Jqn.opttools.net may replace the homepage and default search engines to its own ones and add new icons and shortcuts on the desktop without computer users’ permission.

After that, people may be redirected to other web pages by Jqn.opttools.net against their will when they surf the web and fail to reset the browser settings altered by Jqn.opttools.net. Some people may keep  Jqn.opttools.net in their PC and  even use it as they cannot uninstall Jqn.opttools.net from control panel.

However, the search results displayed by Jqn.opttools.net are not the same with those offered by formal search engines like Google Chrome, and there are many harmful links among the results which may navigate computer users to some unsafe web pages once people have incautiously clicked them.

As time goes by, Jqn.opttools.net browser hijacker may keep track of the browser history, record personal data in the target  PC  and gather search terms, and then send these stolen info to the cyber crooks to undertake malicious tasks.
