ShadowPuterDude Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Reset Google Chrome to its defaults. Please run FRST again. Next, select and copy the following text, including the words Start::and End::. Switch back to the FRST program window, and click the Fix button. It should read the fix directly from the clipboard and run the fix. When it is finished, please attach the fixlog.txt file it created in the same folder the FRST program is in.

Yes, you can Chrome's search preferences. 3 minutes ago, AOH said: Should I whitelist the detection through EEK? No, whitelisting in EEK works a little differently. Whitelist it in Windows Defender if Defender is detecting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
