Help me get rid of virus on chrome
Hi, I have this ads by Lyrics on chrome browser only.
I'm attaching two screenshots. It is not in my programs, and it's not in my extensions. I'm attaching a screenshot of my regedit software, and a screenshot of my extensions, in case it helps, along with 3screenshots of the ads.
How do I get rid of this darn thing?

First completely gett rid of those addons you aren't using. like Ask toolbar (garbage). Have you run anything like SPYBHORemover?
Back up your favorite links then uninstall chrome reboot and re-install chrome then export your favorite links to the the newly installed chrome.
Avoid any addons or toolbars that may be offered by third party software.

Ok, I just uninstalled Chrome, saving my bookmarks, then reinstalled. I removed all extensions. I uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome.
I've used Malwarebytes, it didn't find it.
After doing all that, I still have the ads. This is a stubborn one. Is SPYBHORemover better than malwarebytes for this sort of malware? Thanks.

It is excellent. I love MBAM and have the pro version, but this is a dedicated piece of software. All the software on the securityxploded site is always useful and I have never had a problem with any of it. If you have a rootkit, the software won't help, you can check that by using MBAM anti rootkit analyzer (a checkbox in MBAM) or one of the free ones I reviewed here.

No, sorry, that page is trying to get me to download all kinds of things. I won't use it. Any other ideas, anyone?
which page?
Ah I see. Must be new, try it from here instead. Or just do a google search on SpyBHORemover and choose the site you wish to download from.
