How to clean Chrome Malware/Adware/Rogue/Hacked Extensions


Antivirus company ESET has built Google Chrome Cleanup, a built-in tool now available in Chrome. It's a security tool that scans Chrome and alerts users to potential threats. The tool scans current Chrome instance and notifies users when it finds potentially unwanted or malicious software to be removed.

chrome://settings/cleanup 

in the browser's address bar, and press Enter to go to Chrome's "Clean up computer" page.




2) Next  clicking on the Find button. Note this process can take up to 1hr to complete. 

3) If Malware is found, you get a return page as such and click REMOVE to delete.
