Hello Guys,
Can anyone tell me plz how can i remove chrome.exe virus from my PC??

I have McAFee 8.7i Updated but it dont detect it...

Chrome.exe had
blocked my TaskManager(I have solved it by regedit of TuneUp 2008),
blocked my RegEdit(I have solved it by regedit),
blocked my FolderOption(I have solved it by regedit),

Now the problem is i have chrome.exe & New Folder.exe in my D,E&F Local drives, also <FolderName.exe> in each of the folders of D,E,F drives.

My explorer.exe doesnt start up automatically, i hav to do it manually by task manager. plz help me to solve this problem.

Boot into safe mode:
1. open your system drive
for C:drive (c:\windows\chrome.exe)
delete braviax.exe.
2. open registry editor and move to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\
Click on winlogon. in the right pane you will see entry:shell
delete any value written in it and give this new value:
Explorer.exe
3. also search in registry for any chrome related entry and delete them.
4. clear all browsers data and system Restore.
thats all.............

If Chrome.EXE is blocked,try using a software called Unlocker and kill the proceses using it.....also be sure to check for viruses............
