Please post the Fixlog.txt.
If the problem persist after the Restart of the computer execute this Microsoft Program.
Microsoft Safety Scanner - MSERT.exe
Please make sure you have the latest Windows 10 updates before proceeding.
Please set File Explorer to SHOW ALL folders, all files, including Hidden ones.
Please use this Guide for Windows 10 or 11. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...d-folders-in-windows-97fbc472-c603-9d90-91d0-
Follow the instructions.
Then Download the Microsoft Scanner for this site:
Launch MSERT.exe
Accept the agreement terms of Microsoft
Select CUSTOM scan
Look on Scan Options & select CUSTOM scan & then select the C drive to be scanned.
Then start the scan. Have lots of patience. Once you start the scan & you see it started, then leave it be.
Once you see it has started, take a long long break; walk away. Do not pay credence if you see some intermediate early flash messages on screen display. The only things that count are the End result at the end of the run.
Again, any on-screen display about repeat 'infection' is not to be relied on. Ignore those.
We only rely on the end result that is on the log-report-file.
This is likely to run for many hours ( depending on number of files on your machine & the speed of hardware.)
The log is named MSERT.log
the log will be at
Windows\debug\msert.log
Please attach that log with your reply
p.s.
There are more information for you to read in the download link.

Yes, the problen still persists. When I search on my main page wich should be google, when I search something, the oage changes to laxsearch and then it redirects me to a searcher like bing or sometimes yahoo.
I noticed that in my extensions bar is no longer laxsearch which I couldnt get rid off earlier but somehow is still working?
Should I try desinstalling and re installing chrome?
