Browser-Hijacker keeps coming back...


Recommended Posts

Hi guys

Two days ago a problem accured when this chrome extension appeared and whenever im trying to search something on google it will search it with YAHOO SEARCH and often redirect me to windows reimage repair download links. This chrome extension has no picture and is called ''Max Video Player'' and is not removable. Even after installing Adwcleaner and SpyHunter and running them, this extension keeps coming back. SpyHunter will also crash. But i think this happened after i installed some free game from the internet and when i ran the setup from this ''game'' it opened three cmd bars and added three symbols that said ''Play Crossout'' and ''Iphone X'' and more ads. I'm annoyed and want a solution :(((

Thanks for helping me nasdaq,

is it ok if that i already tried fixing a bit and scanned my PC? I forgot to turn on the options to scan all rootkits and archives and i already removed these malwares.

Another thing is that i come from Germany and my PC language is also in german. So i expect that all logs are written in german so is that still ok?
