Title: How do I remove this annoying piece of shit
Post by: Petarda on January 30, 2014, 03:11:39 pm
I have no idea how but I installed some retard shit called "BetterSurf". It's an ad program that just selects words randomly and makes them be green, it's so annoying.

I tried to find it in "Extensions" but it's not there, I searched everywhere to delete it but I can't find it, yet it's still there.

I'd say boot into safe mode and remove it. Kinda stops it from installing itself. Try finding the installer and removing that too.

By the way, try the 'free' version ^^.

You need anti-malware programs installed if you want this to stay away. Running programs only once you have found something will not prevent it from coming back, nor is that a good idea by any means. (You should always have anti-malware programs running on your computer with real-time monitoring). Malware can also come in different variants that "one time fix" programs and instructions can't always help with. Some programs will also install the malware in multiple locations, or in different ways, so as to prevent its removal.

As for the issue at hand, what OS do you have?

For other prevention tips, aside from protecting your computer with good protection software, don't surf sites or click links that seem suspicious or are filled with very questionable ads. Perhaps you clicked on something you thought was safe, only for it to install the malware.

There's a little text saying "Ads by MediaPlayer", so I checked extensions again and realized that you can't delete that thing.

Extension installed itself by software (adware) on your pc. This is a common trick to make removal harder, yet not impossible. Have a look here: http://forums.anvisoft.com/viewtopic-51-5517-0.html

Have you tried re-installing Google Chrome?

Also report the extension to Chrome; that is a violation of the Chrome Developer TOS.

Found that MediaPlayer and deleted it.

Couldn't find it on "Search all programs and files" but found it on "Add or remove programs"

There will be other programs aswell in there with a similar icon to the media player like a bin icon, delete them all.

I would keep an eye on your system. Malware is generally not that easy to remove.
