Dear Readers,
It does seem that the Google Chrome virus is well known, but it doesn't use the same letters each time it infects the computer.
Searing under Google Chrome virus I found many a tutorial to try and fix it.
The problem?
The video on YouTube is for Windows 7. I now have Windows 8.1 and the directions don't exactly mesh well.
I did find out how to get into Safe Mode though!
What I couldn't do is get into the registry to delete the virus for good and stop it from returning.
So, that's where it's at. The other tutorial had me downloading a bunch more programs to get rid of it and frankly I don't trust that.
Sincerely,
Gensabi
Before simply dismissing a solution because it asks you to download some programs, you should do some research. Just look up each of those programs to see how trusted they are. If the tutorial itself is from a trusted source, it's usually going to be safe. In most cases, a bunch of very specific applications will do a better job than one antivirus software.
ReplyDeletejust type regedit in the search in the start for windows 8.1 and it will ask you if you want to run it click yes and there u go u are in the registry editor and you then can edit it
