How to Remove the Horrible BoBrowser Adware / Malware

We were testing out some freeware download sites to prove our assertion that all download sites are pushing bundled crapware (and yes, they are) when we ran across a truly terrible piece of malware called BoBrowser which replaces Chrome with a lookalike that is chock full of adware.

That’s right, you aren’t looking at Chrome in that screenshot, instead it’s Chromium pre-loaded with malware ads that take over everything. As you can see on the Amazon page, they are inserting so many ads that you can barely see the content.

I got a gomplayer program which had something in common with bobrowser after I clicked on a Flash Player update pop-up. In order to escape from manual removal, the program contained extra vicious codes and files which I knew from here. Perhaps not all of adware or malware is not as easy to remove as you said.

 

I downloaded Chrome browser last week and got this BoBrower and I didn't know why. Tried uninstalling it via Programs and Features but encountered some errors. I googled and found a post recommended Malwarebytes. Of source, I downloaded Malwarebytes from its official site. And it did the trick.
