Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted December 16, 2021 Root Admin ID:1493256 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Unfortunately uninstalling Google Chrome doesn't do anything. As soon as you install and use again all the garbage flows right back into the system. If the detection is always in the Chrome folders then it is 100% due to issues with Chrome. I can help you but please try to follow the directions in that topic again first. Thank you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
