Hello. I must have downloaded something that put some kind of malware on my computer and I cannot figure out how to get rid of it. There is an extension that got added to Chrome called Gymnophiona and is causing me to get redirected to sites that I do not want to visit. It also might be pulling personal information. I am not sure. I have tried running scans but they did not find anything. I uninstalled/reinstalled Chrome but that also did not work. When I go to Manage Extensions, there is no option to remove that extension. It also says my browser is managed by my organization, but that is not the case. My employer had nothing to do with this. This is a personal computer they cannot access. Please help me get that removed. It is driving me nuts. Thanks.

I believe I have fixed the issue by removing the Google Chrome Policies inside the Registry Editor.
