Sorry for the late reply, was busy with work. I can’t seem to uninstall Search App by Ask because when I try to, an error pops out saying that I need to close Google Chrome in order to proceed even though Chrome isn’t even open. I even tried to restart my laptop and immediately went to uninstall the program before doing anything but it didn’t work. The extensions in the Chrome settings also doesn’t seem to list an extension for Search App by Ask. So how do I uninstall the program?

Since there was no reply, I just went through with the steps. Here are the logs

Hello,

Well, in that case you should went in system tray and close Google Chrome, BC his process is still running.

You have posted MBAR’s logfiles. And where is FRST’s FixList logfile?
