So, I've got a pals laptop that he primarily uses Google Chrome on.
Somehow the Chrome browser has become corrupt with a redirect to some weird search engine. I'm pretty much certain it's some kind of a browser virus.
I've attempted to use Malwarebytes to clean it, however it just stops the virus from running and gives a error that the site can't be loaded. Or something like that.
When I attempt to uninstall Google Chrome, I get a Windows error that it cannot remove something that isn't installed?
I've tried Riva uninstaller and it doesn't work as well.
Not sure how I can uninstall the damn browser?
Any ideas or help would be much appreciated.
I've seen where it might be possible to get rid of it through a command line, but not sure if that would work or not.
Also seen where someone just deleted the entire Google directory in file explorer, however, that wouldn't delete the registry entries.
