Please help ---
I simply updated my Flash Player and instead it installed about 6 malware programs including Chromium.
I was able to uninstall all but chromium.
I can't find it in the Programs sections of Control Panel so there in no obvious uninstall method.
I cant even find C:\Users\Charles\AppData\Local\Chromium\Application\chrome.exe
It runs a Yahoo browser every time I boot my computer. Somebody needs to shoot Yahoo and run those mother F%$^#%% out of toen.

So do you have "Yahoo browser" as well as Chromium?
Regardless, when either of them is running, press Control + Shift + Escape (the three keys at once). It will bring up the task manager. Go to the Processes tab.
Within the top menu, there is an Options/View menu (sorry, I do not have it here at the moment) with an option to "Select columns" or something similar. Select it. Tick "Command line".
That should give you the precise location (along with some parameters) of the application. Kill the process first and then delete its folder. That should get rid of it, I guess.

Good luck.


If that does not work, you should check out some actual malware support forum, as this group is not a technical support group - and surely not one for malware issues.

Phistuck,

I'm pretty sure "Yahoo browser" is a reference to the Yahoo toolbar, which installs itself on your computer whenever you download Flash.  The Flash installer puts all sorts of stuff on your computer.
