Although, I must say I have seen no evidence to suggest that it 'tries to get your bank details' or 'hack your email' it mainly just redirects your browser forcing you to use their search engine.

Quote:
Snap.do causes internet browsers to redirect to the snap.do search engine http://www.search.snap.do and other websites. Snap.do was allegedly built and designed to simplify the way people use the web (their claims). Their services can be used voluntarily, in which their product is manually downloaded and installed and the user registers and supplies information, though it can be concluded that Snap.do entraps their users to unethical terms, or without user consent, often bundled with additional software, including malware, most notably spyware applications. Snap.do bundles with many other dangerous malware applications and internet browser objects, including third-party add-ons, extensions, plug-ins, and toolbars, as well as software and files including freeware, shareware, codecs, and torrents.
