I am unable to completely rid my computer of this thing which seems to have kidnapped my Google search.
The directions I found on the internet were aimed for Windows 7. I have upgraded to Windows 8 and cannot find some of the utilities accessed in the Windows 7 solution. Even after I think I have successfully gotten rid of it, back it comes.
I do have Norton 360 on my machine and Comcast antivirus. Neither one of those have been helpful.
Thanks.
In the Google Chrome browser, go to chrome://extensions/.
Find Vgrabber in the list.
Click Uninstall.
Download either (or both) SuperAntispyware and/or Malwarebytes and install them.
Start you machine in Safe Mode then run a full scan with them.
see if Adwcleaner can help
