Recently I installed Avira free antivirus for 2 days. after that I uninstalled it, but now problem is with its extension Avira Safe search plus. I have removed it from my chrome browser so many times. but still it is showing in chrome every time and giving option of enable or remove. Every time I removed but whenever I restart my browser it is there. I thoroughly uninstalled but i dont how it automatically get installed without any permission. how to reomove it? It is very annoying.
i use
- Malwarebytes
-adwcleaner
- i deleted the Avira Safe Search Plus folders from Chrome extension folder by navigating to: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions
The Avira extension ID should be: ipmkfpcnmccejididiaagpgchgjfajgp

the malware is PUP.OPTIONAL.MAIL.RU and PUP.OPTIONAL.LEGACY for avira


log adwcleaner
