[QUOTE="nicolaasjan, post: 1070401, member: 101172"] Lately i see [URL='https://www.google.com/search?q=chromstera+OR+chromestera+site%3Areddit.com']a lot of posts on Reddit[/URL] about infections with a browser hijacker that comes along with [B]Chromstera[/B] (probably installed as a PUP via a game mod). The extensions have random Latin plant or animal names and cannot be removed normally due to a policy in the registry. I have regularly pointed these victims to the [URL='https://malwaretips.com/forums/windows-malware-removal-help-support.10/']Windows Malware Removal Help & Support[/URL] section here. They often say that Malwarebytes cannot remove it. Why is that? It exists for quite some time now. [/QUOTE]
