Hi guys -
I have, literally, been all over and have tried everything trying to get rid of the "Astromenda" malware that has been become imbedded in my Google Chrome web browser.
I have used malware bytes, ADWcleaner, webroot secure anywhere (my current anti-virus) and some other software to absolutely no avail of getting rid of this. I have tried registry deletion. ADWcleaner and malware bytes BOTH finds the file and asks me if I want to delete it. I do so every time. However, the very next scan it is still there. Nothing I do gets rid of it.
I have NO clue on how to completely get rid of this. It seems to only be in my chrome browser. I use Internet Explorer also. I am currently running Windows 7 PRO (64-bit).
Any ideas at all?! I really appreciate you taking the time to read my post and I thank you in advance for your help with this issue!
Astromenda is usually tagged onto another download. My first suggestion would be to download Revo uninstaller portable and show us a list of programs installed on the computer so we can remove the program(s) that originally brought it onto your computer.
OK...I already have both Revo uninstaller (1.95) and Iobit uninstaller. I will await your reply. Thanks in advance!
We need to know what programs are installed. You should be able to export a list from Revo or take screenshots to show all the programs.

Dave, from what I can read on this subject and since he has already ran Malwarebytes and AdwCleaner. He will have to use the Chrome Tools/Extension Tab and delete unwanted extensions and reset Google Search as the default search engine from the settings tab and be sure and clear history.

I just wanted to make sure we got it all, dandl. No sense treating the symptoms if the root cause is still lurking around. 
I have done all that, Dan. It is located somewhere in my chrome browser. There is no extensions of it nor does my search engine go to it. I'm working on a screen shot as I type this.
It isn't letting me do a screen shot. It keeps saying the files are too large.
You need to post jpg or png files and the smaller the filesize the better - as long as they are legible. You can try uploading to http://webresizer.com/ to make the filesize reasonable.
