Hi and welcome to the malwaretips.com forums!
I'm Kuttus and I am going to try to assist you with your problem. Please take note of the below:
Before we start:
Please be aware that removing malware is a potentially hazardous undertaking. I will take care not to knowingly suggest courses of action that might damage your computer. However it is impossible for me to foresee all interactions that may happen between the software on your computer and those we'll use to clear you of infection, and I cannot guarantee the safety of your system. It is possible that we might encounter situations where the only recourse is to re-format and re-install your operating system, or to necessitate you taking your computer to a repair shop.
Because of this, I advise you to backup any personal files and folders before you start.

STEP 1: Run a scan with Junkware Removal Tool

STEP 2: Run a scan with AdwCleaner

As far as I know. I've never used Internet Explorer on this machine, so I have no idea if fbdownloader is on there as well or not.

I actually just checked. There's no fbdownloader page on iexplorer, it defaults to MSN.com
kuttus said:Okay. So it's only in Google Chrome right?
If it is only in Google Chrome change the home page in Google Chrome and set it to Google.com then restart the computer and check how it is working.....
No good. fbdownloader just overrides it and becomes the homepage on startup.
kuttus said:Okay... Don't worry we can fix it......
Google Chrome actually opens google.com and fbdownloader together now on startup.

Go to Google Chrome Settings. Copy and paste the following code in the address bar of Google Chrome.
It will open Google Chrome Settings page.... Over there check what is your home age in Google Chrome.....
Settings -- > On Start Up --> Set pages (Click on it)
You can see one another home page over there.. Delete it..... Click on the X to Delete it.
Let me know after that....
