Solved Can't remove UtubeADBlock 2.2 extension from Chrome

[Ann]

Hi, I've never posted before, but like I said this is what happens to me with Chrome. I have uninstalled all the suspicious programs and tried to find the registry key to remove it but I couldn't.
I'm not sure what I have to do. Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Before we begin, I want you to have this in mind:

• At the top of your post, please click on the "Watch thread" button and make sure to check Watch this thread...and receive email notifications. This will send an email to you as soon as I reply to your topic, allowing me to solve your problem faster.
• Please do not install any new software during the cleaning process other than the tools I provide for you. This can hinder the cleaning process. Please do not perform System Restore or any other restore.
• Instructions I give to you are very simple and made for complete beginner to follow. That's why you need to read through my instructions carefully and completely before executing them.
• Please do not run any tools other than the ones I ask you to, when I ask you to. Some of these tools can be very dangerous if used improperly. Also, if you use a tool that I have not requested you use, it can cause false positives, thereby delaying the complete cleaning of your machine.
  
• All tools we use here are completely clean and do not contain any malware. If your antivirus detects them as malicious, please disable your antivirus and then continue.
• If during the process you run across anything that is not in my instructions, please stop and ask. If any tool is running too much time (few hours), please stop and inform me.
• I visit forum several times at day, making sure to respond to everyone's topic as fast as possible. But bear in mind that I have private life like everyone and I cannot be here 24/7. So please be patient with me. Also, some infections require less, and some more time to be removed completely, so bear this in mind and be patient.
• Please stay with me until the end of all steps and procedures and I declare your system clean. Just because there is a lack of symptoms does not indicate a clean machine. If you solved your problem yourself, set aside two minutes to let me know.
  
• Please attach all report using
  
  button below. Doing this, you make it easier for me to analyze and fix your problem.

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

• Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
• Press Scan button.
• It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
• The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

Attached both reports. The AdwCleaner report is named "[S1]" because before starting this thread I used it. And I wasn't able to uninstall Java 7 Update 7.

How is computer now?

 

[Ann]

The UtubeAdBlock is still installed, but at least for now I don't see ads and Chrome doesn't open random pages.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Can you run FRST one more time, press Scan, and attach fresh report.

 

[Ann]

Tell me is it fixed now?

After doing the fixing task the computer has been rebooted automatically, is that normal?
I've checked the extensions list and UtubeAdBlock has been removed.

Thank you very much!!
