Possible Virus?.. Need Help!

[K i a r a]

Hey

 

So, I am currently on my brothers desktop and he needs some help.

 

He went on a Torrent website... yeah.. and downloaded something, It unlinked his Google Chrome Account, and now when you pull up Google chrome the search engine is "https://search.safefinder.com/?st=sc&q="

 

I went into the Settings, And it doesn't show the engine anywhere? 

Windows defender also removed one possible virus. 

Spoiler

EDIT

So I found it in the Add or Remove programs... And uninstalled it.. 

But now I still have this very SUS file that I cant remove...

 

Also, With it removed, Its sill re directing me to this 
"https://search.safefinder.com/?st=sc&q=" when I open chrome..

Just reformat and leave on system restore

Once infected the system should be considered tainted. No amount of virus scanning software will help.Wipe the drive and reinstall.

I agree with @markr54632, just whipe the drive to be safe

Wipe the drive? I would use bitdefender malwarebites and hitman Pro. That has always worked for me when clearing up relatives virus infested computers because they don't want me to "cHaNgE AnYtHiNg" wiping the drive is the safest option.

I've actually had good luck in the past just deleting the entire Profile Login Account.  Just make sure you pull out anything on your Desktop and My Documents, Bookmarks you need.  It will save hours doing OS reload

OK, this is obviously Windows 10. In my opinion for the average user, your best bet is to click start and type 'Reset this PC'. Feel free to keep your files in this case ~ I believe it wipes out %temp% and %appdata%, which is probably where the virus lives, but probably delete everything out of your downloads folder without prejudice.

 

You'll need to reinstall your games, your MS office and any other registered software - install your steam client your battle net and what nots, and then have fun. Just my opinion on your quickest, safest, easiest route back to good health.
