Solved! Hijacked by S.coldsearch

[Smasher21]

I can't seem to get rid of s.coldsearch from Chrome. Help!!

Use a better browser. Get adwcleaner then run it

Run Malwarebytes. Should remove it. If your browser is still stuck on the coldsearch for search engine then try this.

1. Open command prompt as Administrator.
2. Follow below command one after another


first line: RD /S /Q "%WinDir%\System32\GroupPolicyUsers­"

second line: RD /S /Q "%WinDir%\System32\GroupPolicy"­

third line: gpupdate /force

Restart the browser and check it should be removed.

@Karadjgne,

Your advice is like curing a headache with a guillotine... If that problem is hidden into group policy, Microsoft provides a tool for that. I have Chrome browser installed, and there's nothing Chrome-related in these folders, but a lot of other info one would lose (and develop other problems).
