Remove Indiatimes.xyz Hijacker from the Computer Browser

Complains from computer users about Indiatimes.xyz:

In the beginning my homepage got changed to "indiatimes.xyz". I looked up online and uninstalled the unknown software from Control Panel and also reset my Chrome settings. After a few days, it came back in the form of Snap.Do and then again I tried to remove it and it went away. But now it's back and again my homepage has changed. BUT this time I keep on getting ads from "Safe Finder" . After trying again for a malware search and restarting my computer it seems to have gone away but I don't think that the problem is gone.
