After installing Qvod player, my IE homepage was set to:

http://www.hao123.com/?tn=97473572_hao_pg

I tried to set the home page via IE settings, however it changed back to http://www.hao123.com again. After that, I discovered I have to check on regedit on both path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Main and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet\Explorer\Main

for Default_Page_URL

I found my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE setting Default_Page_URL to hao123.com and I quickly changed it to blank. After this, I was able to set the IE homePage to blank but the default page to appear when i click to start up IE, was hao123.com!

I also checked on right click> property of my IE shortcut, no default homepage are set.

After this, I uninstalled Qvod player, and it still didn't work!

  • Which version did you install? You downloaded the program from the official website, right? The setup program will install a browser hijacker and other bloatware unless you explicitly uncheck them from the options. Try scanning your system using Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and AdwCleaner, then report back.

  • I am facing this issue after the Qvod auto update for latest version, and it didn't request for my permission to update it. I had scan it with Malwarebytes and get 98 hit of Threat Scan. But it seem didn't help. For AdwCleaner, my antivirus software has detected it is a threat, so i had stop running it.

Step 1: Locate the DLL file called 'QvodAddr.dll', rename it to 'QvodAddr.dll.bak'.

Step 2: Remove the 'http://www.hao123.com/?tn=97473572_hao_pg' from the Internet Explorer --> Internet Options --> General (Tab) --> Home page.

Step 3: Restart your Internet Explorer.

I use this to solve my problem. Hope it helps you.
