So my girlfriend recently downloaded a file that turned out to be a bit dodgy and added Microcosm - New Tab to Chrome. We promptly deleted the extension, however, on the New Tab page on Chrome she now cannot remove any of the websites that are there, and the list of websites is now fixed.
Tried so far:
- Anti-virus scans through Avast and Defender and got nothing.
- Checking for Root Kits, but wasn't able to launch TDSSKiller on her system for some reason. Run the .exe and nothing would appear, 3 new processes were created them promptly disappeared.
- Reinstalling Chrome.
- Resetting Chrome.
Any advice?
