Solved Playbar.net still persisting

[Alyssa]

Hello guys! I've tried everything from this thread How to remove Play-Bar.net redirect (Virus Removal Guide) to remove the playbar.net malware but it seems to keep persisting. As you can see in the picture below, this malicious search bar still exists.

I've done the scans but it doesn't detect any virus related to playbar.net. I've already performed the Adware, Hitman Pro, Malware Bytes Anti-Malware scans but to no avail. I would appreciate your help, guys. Thanks!

Hello,


Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

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 to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
• Press Scan button.
  
  
  
  
  
• It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
• The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

​

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finishes FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

Hey, for some reasons, the problem was gone. I retried the Adware Cleaner again, and installed Avast, and also resetted all my settings in Chrome. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP! And btw I just encountered this suspicious folder in my program files. It's only proper I delete this, right?

Yes, you can delete it.
