Hello, I know absoulutly nothing about computers and such. But a extension called QuantumAsteroidus showed randomly, I am unsure when. I have been attempting to fix a problem fith Chrome where it just randomly crashes. I read somewhere that extensions might be the problem, whitch is where I found QuantumAsteroidus. There is no remove option like other extension, and a lot of the permisions are just greyed out and locked. Sorry If this is a lackluster explanation, I do not know what to add.

I do not know how to uninstall it.Screenshot 2024-12-17 122320.pngScreenshot 2024-12-17 122346.png

Norton does not like the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool. A serch through Google makes me think that Norton is just giving a false posative? I just wanted to double check that this was something typical before continuing onward

Unfortunately your system is infected..! Let's start cleaning:

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool - Fix

NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on this particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system that cannot be undone


Please download the attached file to the same folder where the Farbar tool is running from.
The location is listed in the 3rd line of the FRST.txt log you have submitted.

Run FRST and click Fix only once and wait.

The Computer will restart when the fix is completed.

It will create a log (Fixlog.txt) please post it to your reply.
