After downloading a game to earn some points, my computer has had a program on it called "BrowserPlus" and a few other similar programs that attach itself to my google chrome. I tried to remove the program, but it is hidden, probably under a fake name. Have any of you had this problem? Any suggestions on how I can completely remove these programs from my computer? Any advice would be appreciated!

Any of those downloads on this site are going to be filled with that "crapware". Download "MalwareBytes Anti-Malware" , it will take care of it.

if u want to do downloads the u nshould download sandboxie, which puts the downloads in a secure spot on ur pc then it can easily be deleted and not infecting the rest of the computer

True, there is no single removal tool for all virus/malware. Sandboxie is a good choice, forgot about that.

I've been doing system restore, to a few days before you did the download. Has always helped me so far. After hearing what treeman said tho, from now on I will be using sandboxie if I'm going to be doing downloads on here.
