    • Download Fixlist.txt and save it in the Downloads folder where FRST64.exe is located.
    • Close any apps with unsaved work.
    • Run FRST64.exe and click "Fix".
    • The computer will reboot to complete the process.

    Please upload Fixlog.txt so I can check if any further action is needed.

    Hi V,

    If you think this extension is fake, consider running a malware scan. Adwcleaner Is my choice for the same:

    I’m eager to hear back and work together to find a solution.

    Please provide FRST logs for analysis:

    1. Run with default settings, then select Scan.
    2. Zip FRST.txt and Addition.txt, then upload them to OneDrive, Google Drive amd share the link.
