a couple days ago i unknowingly installed the chromestera malware and even though I’ve went through with Malwarebytes and Rkill I still have this fuschia hybrida extension and it redirects my searches, blocks me from signing in to my adsense account and my account is now “managed by an organization” does anyone know how to remove it?

Hello ..! Welcome to MalwareTips..! :)

Please follow the instruction below..:

Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop. --> IMPORTANT

If your antivirus software detects the tool as malicious, it’s safe to allow FRST to run. It is a false-positive detection.
If English is not your primary language, right click on FRST.exe/FRST64.exe and rename to FRSTEnglish.exe/FRST64English.exe

Note: You need to run the version compatible 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 the FRST icon to run the tool. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press Scan button and wait for a while.
  • The scanner will produced two logs on your Desktop: FRST.txt and Addition.txt.
  • Please attach the content of these two logs in your next reply.

Hi, Craig12455..! :) Thank you..!

AdwCleaner (Clean mode)

The section at the bottom under Pre-Installed Software is software that was apparently installed when the device was new by your PC manufacturer (in this case Acer). Personally, I don't keep anything from this software that I don't use/need. But it's your computer, so the decision is yours.

To proceed, please do the following:
  • Double click AdwCleaner.exe on your Desktop, to run it as you did before.
  • Click Scan Now.
  • When the scan has finished a Scan Results window will open.
  • Please check all the boxes and then click Quarantine.
  • Click Next.
    • If any pre-installed software was found on your machine, a prompt window will open. Click OK to close it.
    • Check any pre-installed software items you want to remove.
    • Click Quarantine.
  • A prompt to save your work will appear.
    • Click Continue when you're ready to proceed.
  • A prompt to restart your computer will appear.
    • Click Restart Now.
  • Once your computer has restarted:
    • If it doesn't open automatically, please start AdwCleaner.
    • Click the Log Files tab.
    • Double click on the latest Clean log (Clean logs have a [C0*] suffix, where * is replaced by a number, the latest scan will have the largest number)
    • A Notepad file will open containing the results of the removal.
    • Please post the contents of the file in your next reply.

Fresh FRST logs

Please run FRST tool once more, and attach for me fresh logs:
  • Double-click on the FRST icon to run it, as you did before. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press Scan button and wait for a while.
  • The scanner will produce two logs on your Desktop: FRST.txt and Addition.txt.
  • Please attach these two logs in your next reply.

In your next reply, please post:
  1. The AdwCleaner[C0*].txt
  2. Fresh FRST logs
  3. Feedback: let me know about how is the computer running. Please, include any issue and concern right now.
