Bimq.co pops up before searching something, managed by organization

[zygar]

Hello! I have a problem with a browser hijacker according to reddit posts called "bimq.co", i have tried many options (chronological order) like malwarebytes scan, windows self scan, removing ALL extensions, removing policies in reg edit (which works for a while) but they just keep coming back. cmd prompts, checking control panel for suspicious software, norton power eraser malwarebytes ADW, windows self scan

The removing policies works for like 10 minutes and them comes back with the bimq.co searching problem  but it still says that an organization is keeping me from changing certain settings like this

Thank you

sorry that its taking so long, i ran into some issues. First of all my settings wont open? It just opens and closes immediately, i can only open the security settings by typing “security” and opening that in the search, and i noticed that some of the settings there are disabled like manipulation security it says “This settings is being managed by the systemmanager” (i translated from dutch to english it might not be accurate) 

 

I also used the ADW cleaner, nothing came up and im now doing the malwarebytes scan. So, sorry if its taking long

Go straight to the FRST step. Post the log from your ADWcleaner scan and the last scan from Malwarebytes.

Details for each one are in the links provided in the first post.

Update:

So the bimq.co has been gone since yesterday (i am expecting it to come back soon but this is longer than usual), but the organization is still not gone neither in settings or google. And i still cant open settings 

if i open this it just closes immediately. Is this just an computer issue or is the virus doing that? 

anyways heres the dr cureit web report 

cureit.log

Thank you for the log. Let me have your RESTART the computer again and get me some updated logs. We'll see if we can do a generic clean up to see if that helps

@AdvancedSetup So, i can finally open my settings but some settings are still managed by a system organization 

 

Sorry for the late reply, left my pc on overnight again since it took super long 

[AdvancedSetup]

What applications is this from ? What does it say in English? @zygar

 

What is the BING about? Is that Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge that you're showing?

 

Please RESTART the computer and get me a new fresh set of logs.

It says in english in the windows security  "This setting is managed by the system administrator" (note: this is a home pc and i am an administrator account.)

And its google chrome, im trying to show that the icon all the way on the right means that its being managed by an administrator and that it is preventing me from removing bing from my search engine.

Also if i click on details it shows this so i kind of know that the bimq.co issue is the reason for this.

(under this text is what i see when i click on details.)

Translation: 1. Name 2. Shortcut 3. URL with %s instead of search term

1. After i noticed the bimq.co redirection problem (before i made this forum) since then i cant remove bing from my search engine on chrome because its managed by an administrator (this is an home pc and this is also an administrator account.) 

2. Progress: I dont get redirected to bimq.co anymore before searching something up, but i still cant turn on manipulation protection in settings because its managed by an "system administrator" (i am an administrator and ive never had this problem before the bimq.co issue) 

anyways, here are the logs u asked for

@AdvancedSetup
Also when following the steps i noticed that the policies were gone in RegEdit, not even a chrome folder or anything

Let's tackle Google Chrome first

Is that your Default browser?

Do you use any other Google applications or programs besides Google Chrome?

Google chrome is my default browser, i dont use anything other than google chrome

[AdvancedSetup]

Save, export your bookmarks and save any other information for Google Chrome

Then uninstall it and after you've uninstalled it we can run a script to clean up the items that Google does not remove
