Hello /b/.

So, yesterday I posted a thread on here because my copy of Windows was fucked up from a virus, and I've done a system restore to a previous point in time. This seems to have fixed some issues. but now my Google Chrome is fucked up.

No matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall it, the extensions don't seem to work for Google Chrome and the icon in the task bar is a blank white page instead of the Chrome logo.

Is there any way I can fix this?

And also, after getting rid of the adware or whatever it was (I think, I've run a full system scan of Avast and Malwarebytes) and restoring the computer to a previous save point, my computer seems to be running slower in some areas and some tasks don't even work (e.g. clicking on the start button doesn't open the start menu). Is this something I can fix too?

Thanks.

You know what to do, OP.

at what point did you decide getting tech support from 4chan was a good idea you fucking gonorrhea handbag fucking pour milk on your computer if you can't fucking google
>>
>>682924641
Fuck. I've got a lot of files and projects on here and I don't have any extra hard drives lying around to back them up.

Should I just do a reset that keeps the files whilst reinstalling windows?

>>682924798
Too stupid to use Linux, I'll fuck something up.

>>682923660
sup bro.
The chrome config is in your sam file located at
c:\Windows\System32\Config\sam
just remove it, reboot and you're good to go!
your browser history and stuff will be deleted, but this is the easy way.
>>
>>682924884
Use any user friendly distro like any Ubuntu flavour or Linux Mint.
>>
>>682923660
Reinstall windows completely, don't use chrome and get a decent real time antivirus since you don't seem to know what you're doing.

No just fucking stupid enough to ask for tech support on 4chan what fucking special ed class are you in
>>
>>682924884
I've tried googling, but didn't come up with anything useful, so I thought I'd ask here.

>>682925081
Would I be able to reset the PC and keep my files? I've got a lot of important shit that I can't lose, but don't have any extra space to back it up.
>>
>>682923660
uninstall chrome, download CCleaner. use CCleaner. profit.
>>
>>682925143
You can format and reinstall windows and keep all your stuff, but you should find a way to backup your things
>>
>>682925296
Alright, thanks.

>>682925281
Haven't tried CCleaner yet, I'll try it out. Thanks anon.
>>
>>682925409
don't reformat unless you can not get rid of the virus. if you have restore points or a good system image use them. that is what they are for.

CCleaner and MBAM should set you straight.
>>
>>682925628
I've been trying restore points, and the OS seems fine for the most part but Chrome is fucked up and the OS is running a little slower than before I got the virus and restored to a previous save point.
>>
>>682923660
upload your chrome folder zip, I'll tell you what's wrong
>>
stop being a noob...Install Linux, Image System... bad things wont happen... if bad things happen... restore image.... they wont happen... but if they do... yeah... image.
>>
>>682925808
If you are restoring from previous it -might- be running slow because it's uploading all the botnet shit and looking for updates etc etc

windows 10, right?
>>
>>682926131
Yep, Windows 10.
>>
Stop being a faggot and do a clean install.

Fucking computer autists
>>
>>682925266
Buy a fucking external, poorfag
>>
>>682926183
Is it authentic or pirated copy
>>
>>682926253
I can't, anon, I have hundreds of GB worth of work on here that I can't lose.

>>682926347
It's currently 23:21 where I live, there's no where that's open and sells external hard drives.And I need the computer to be working perfectly tonight.
>>
>>682926183

push windows key and r at the same time
then type cmd
hold down ctrl shift and enter
if password prompt comes up, type password in

then in cmd:

type: format c: /s

hit enter

problem goes away
>>
>>682926183
if, and when you get set straight this works pretty good for win 10.

https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10

gives you a bit of control over the w10 botnet
>>
>>682926503
Authentic, upgraded from Windows 8.1

>>682926629
What does this do?
>>
>>682926726
>format c: /s

take a good guess anon.
>>
>>682926726
/s is the safe flag. It formats the corrupt files in your C drive, can confirm, computerfag here
>>
>>682926839

it fixes chrome for you everytime. no questions asked.
its a google secret password
>>
>>682926839
Will it delete everything on the hard drive? Because I can't afford to do that.

>>682926886
Oh, okay.
>>
>>682926886
im a cunt but not that much of a cunt /s for seriously asking these questions on 4chans
>>
>>682926917

By the way, I just finished running a MalwareBytes scan, and it came up with 0 threats found.

So I'm assuming this means that the virus is completely removed from my computer? Now it's just an issue of Windows fucking itself up?

No it's chrome fucking you up. Remove and use Edge.
