Hello,
For some reason I keep getting adware on my computer. I ran an AdwCleaner scan and deleted everything that came up, but it can't seem to get rid of one file. The Secure Preferences file in Chrome keeps getting edited by something, and I cannot figure out what. Here's how the file showed up in AdwCleaner:
When I select clean, it goes through its process, restarts my computer, but the file is still there when I run it again. I've tried manually deleting the file. After that it doesn't show up in adwcleaner, but when I restart my computer, it comes back. I decided to leave it alone for a little, but then more adware files began popping up in adwcleaner. Cleaning removes every file but the Secure Preferences one. AdwCleaner isn't finding any other files so I can't tell what is causing the change in the file. I've looked through my programs and ran a full scan on MSE but I cannot find anything. Chrome keeps giving me the error "Chrome detected that some of your settings were corrupted by another program and reset them to their original defaults". I'm pretty sure this is connected to the Secure Preferences problem.
If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
