Does anybody know how to uninstall a chrome addon called websecurity? One day it randomly appeared in chrome. It says it was installed by an enterprise policy. I have tried searching for its extension number in regedit, but it wouldn't respond. I deleted it's folder in C:\Users\RRH30_000\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions, but it's still here. I would absolutely love it if someone helped me. Thanks in advance!

  • If you nuke the entire chrome profile what happens?

  • Look for "Web Security App" (or similar) in the programs and features list (control panel) uninstall it then install and run adwcleaner to clean up residuals...bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner

  1. Close Chrome and kill all running Chrome processes.
  2. Start Chrome with the --disable-extensions --disable-plugins command-line options to disable all extensions and plugins.
  3. Go to Settings/Extensions, and trash what you want trashed.

If this doesn't help, it is a different issue.

You can also (after step 1) use REGEDIT to delete the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome and anything below it.
