Many adware or potentially unwanted programs (PUP) install extensions inside your Chrome browser using enterprise policy so you cannot remove them through Chrome extensions settings (chrome://extensions/.). More specifically, these extensions are managed and installed by enterprise policy GPO so they cannot be uninstalled easily using Chrome settings.

Chrome Cleanup Tool (Formerly Google Chrome Software Removal Tool) will scan and remove software that may cause problems with Google Chrome. Once the application completes the scan for any problem causing software, it will attempt to further prevent crashes or other problems, by asking you to reset your browser.

Probably these extensions are installed on your computer after you download and install other free software from the Internet.

Note: You must always pay attention when you install software on your computer.

If you want to remove any extension installed by Enterprise policy follow the step below:

How to remove Chrome extensions installed by enterprise policy GPO

Step 1. Uninstall the unwanted extension from your Control panel.

1. To do this, go to:

• Windows 8/7/Vista: Start > Control Panel.
• Windows XP: Start > Settings > Control Panel

2. Double click to open

• Add or Remove Programs if you have Windows XP
• Programs and Features if you have Windows 8, 7 or Vista.

3. In the program list, find and remove/Uninstall any unknown or unwanted application. e.g. (Media Player, Media Server 1.1, Video Player, BlOuckTheAdAppp, etc.)

Step 2: Find from Chrome the ID of the unwanted extension & then Delete the Malicious Registry Key.

1. Open Google Chrome and go to chrome menu and choose 'Settings'.

2. Choose “Extensions” from the left pane.

Prevent the unwanted extension to be installed (loaded) automatically from Windows registry.

*Notice: Some extensions that have been installed by Enterprise policy don’t put additional entries in Windows registry. So, follow this step only as a precaution.

5. Open Registry Editor.

To do that open the “Run” command* and in the search (run) box, type “regedit” and press “Enter”.

* How to open the “Run” command:

Windows XP:

Click on the “Start” button and choose “Run”.

Windows 7, Vista

Click on the “Start” button and click on the “search”box.

Windows 8:

Right-click on the bottom left corner and select “Run”.

6. Inside Registry Editor, click on “Edit” menu and choose “Find”.

7. In the “Find What” box, type: ExtensionInstallForcelist

8. Now look at the right pane on “ExtensionInstallForcelist” key found and delete any value that its Data value matches the Extension ID found from Chrome Extensions window.

9. Press the “F3” button on your keyboard to find the next “ExtensionInstallForcelist”key on your registry and repeat the same procedure (delete the extra values on the right pane). *

* Note: In a Windows XP based computer the “ExtensionInstallForcelist” key is found 3 (three) times in these locations in the registry:

1. HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionGroup Policy Objects{9A8EC6CB-DD83-4E3E-9829-71ED9CEAC021}MachineSoftwarePoliciesGoogleChromeExtensionInstallForcelist

10. Repeat this step to find and delete all registry keys for any other extension that is has installed by enterprise policy in Chrome. (e.g. YouTubeAdBlocker, MediaPlayer, etc.)

11. Close “Registry Editor”.

Step 3. Locate & Delete Malicious Folder(s) used in Chrome Policies.

1. Open Google Chrome and at the “URL Address Bar” type: chrome://policy& press “Enter”.

2. At “Policies” window press the “Show Value” button.*

*Note: If you cannot find any policies here continue to the next step.

3. Now “Copy” the path of the malicious folder extension.

e.g. “C:/ProgramData/dgoiddfiaigjfjblblmidmpgokkegkld”

4. Open Windows Explorer and “Paste” the copied path in the address bar.

5. Press “Enter” to navigate to that path:

6. Click with your mouse at the parent folder: e.g. “C:ProgramData”

8. Repeat this step for any other policy value found in Chrome Policies and then continue to the next step.
