AdPeak/Scoripon Saver removal seems impossible

[illumination]

Have you checked the registry? What application was downloaded the same day as you obtained Scorpion Saver, has it been deleted, all traces.. ? I would personally look for both these routes.

Ok, thanks. I know Scorpion Saver and Adpeak are not present in the registry, as I have checked several times now. I don't recall what I downloaded that same day, but I know I have gone through my programs list to try and get rid of anything that was installed recently.

There is one extension on Chrome that troubles me. I don't know why I can't get rid of it. It is the last one in the list on the screen shot and is called WebSite Recommendation 2.2:


I cannot delete it or disable it. When I do, it is back and running as soon as I open Chrome again. Does this have anything to do with my problem?

I did it! I got rid of it! I finally realized I could search the entire registry for keys with ScorpionSaver in them. I deleted all folders that contained such files, and now it is not in my programs list! Also, Chrome no longer has that extension! Thank you Thank you!!!

There were 2 folders that had a subfolder containing a ScorpionSaver file. Can I also delete these overall folders? Their names are:

3A9F56B942D9A2546BFE41756DE52495 and 6BA018E6E43F3A949AF3E90563067F81

And both folders have three remaining subfolders.
