Pulse (Пульс) PUP issue

[Farsighting]

Hello, everyone! I am in dire need of help here.

Recently I have installed a seemingly normal program, only to find out that it installed a program named Mail.Ru. Initially, this thing installed 2 extensions in my browser: Mail.Ru and Pulse (also appears as Пульс sometimes). After following multiple internet tutorials on how to get rid of these bad boys (using Malwarebytes, Zemana AntiMalware, HitmanPro, AdwCleaner), Mail.Ru appears to be gone. However, no matter how many times I repeat the process, the extension named Pulse doesn't want to disappear.

AdwCleaner gets rid of it, only for it to reappear next time I open Google Chrome. If it's of any use, the folder that it keeps adding in the Google Chrome Extensions folder, after every attempt of uninstalling it, is named "beliehdniadoecbonbhlcgbdldccfigp".

I am thanking anyone in advance if they can help me here.

Hello,

What happens if you try to manually remove this extension?

Hi.

The same thing happens no matter how I delete it. Whether it be me deleting it from Chrome itself, from the base folder, or by using AdwCleaner, Pulse reinstalls itself after restarting my computer and opening Chrome.
