How do I remove Google Chrome Apps or add-on’s?

[johnnyb58]

I recently had to remove all my photos from Photobucket because they suddenly wanted $399 for 3rd party access which was my only reason to use them in the first place. I found a Photobucket file download tool for $1.99 and now that I don’t need it anymore I’d like to remove it from my computer.

I’m not sure but it appears that Google Chrome has slowed down and my Bitdefender antivirus scans have gone crazy trying to delete 2 programs about the same time that I bought the Google App. Bitdefender finally showed the files removed after I cleared browsing data and history, but I did notice that the app is still working after going on to Photobucket one last time.

Just trying to speed things up a bit.

Download Autoruns and save the ARN file. Zip it and upload here. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns

Have you looked in Programs and Features to remove the program?

Once I see the ARN file I can locate its source and instruct you on how to rid the crap from your computer.

Consequently, you could run HerdProtect in Safe mode. But Run Rkill first.

I would also run Superantispyware and adwCleaner.

If you want to share an image on a website, I use Imgur. It's simple, straight forward and I have yet to see my images deleted. But I often wonder if they will ever run out of cloud space and/or bandwidth.
