此Chromium恶意软件删除说明将帮助您从(Chromium)Windows计算机中卸载和删除Chromium病毒和基于Chromium的流氓浏览器。您不仅会了解它，还会使浏览体验恢复正常。您可能需要管理员权限才能使用帖子中的某些方法。它适用于Windows 11和Windows 10。
什么是铬？
Chromium是一个合法的开源浏览器项目，又名Chromium项目，旨在构建更安全、更快、更稳定的方式，让用户体验流畅的浏览体验。它构成了Google Chrome 浏览器 (Google Chrome browser. )的基础。然而，由于Chromium和Chrome听起来很相似，恶意软件编写者使用这个名称并使用Chromium将恶意代码推送到Windows计算机上。
什么是铬病毒(Chromium Virus)？它有什么作用？
无论您是否使用Google Chrome浏览器，此病毒都可以进入您的计算机。一些可疑的基于 Chromium 的浏览器可能会潜入您的系统并对其进行破坏。他们可以跟踪您、收集信息、窃取敏感数据、显示广告和弹出窗口、参与身份盗窃(Identity Theft)或导致浏览器重定向。
BeagleBrowser、BrowserAir、BoBrowser、Chedot、 eFast 、Fusion、MyBrowser、Olcinium、Palikan、Qword、Tortuga、Torch是一些从事此类策略的可疑Chromium浏览器。(Chromium)有趣的是，所有这些病毒都是使用相同的Chromium软件制作的，并且可能看起来像合法的浏览器。
一旦用户安装它，它可以将用户重定向到虚假搜索结果、外观相似的银行页面，甚至使用信用卡(Credit Card)详细信息的网站。一切都被捕获并保存到服务器，然后用于欺诈。
Chromium 浏览器(Does Chromium Browser Infect)如何感染计算机(Computer)？
Chromium病毒的常见进入方法是免费下载捆绑(bundleware)软件和垃圾邮件。由于这些PUP(PUPs)会潜入您的计算机，因此您必须在安装任何软件时保持警惕，并确保它或其他第三方产品不会隐藏在“高级(Advanced)”或“自定义”安装(Custom Install)选项下。此外，有时通过恶意扩展安装。
安装后，它将接管所有文件关联，劫持URL关联，并将自己设置为默认浏览器。它还将更改您的浏览器主页和默认搜索引擎。最糟糕的是，它们看起来与Chrome相似，甚至可能使用Chrome徽标。如果你不是很小心，它很容易被瞄准。
Chromium 病毒(Chromium Virus)在您的计算机(Computer)上的迹象
- 检查浏览器的默认搜索引擎是否在未经您同意的情况下更改。
- 每次打开新选项卡或单击浏览器中的搜索栏时，搜索提供程序都会发生变化。
- 搜索结果不像以前那样相关。
- 广告和弹出窗口的数量似乎不自然。
- 免费提供高级版。
它们也被称为浏览器劫持者，以开源网络浏览器的形式出现。
如何从Windows 11/10Chromium 病毒(Chromium Virus)
如果您发现自己感染了Chromium恶意软件，建议您执行以下操作：
- 杀死可疑程序
- 卸载恶意程序
- 删除 Chromium 用户(Remove Chromium user)数据和设置
- 检查未知的 Chrome 扩展程序
您将需要其中一些管理员权限。
1]杀死可疑程序
关闭所有浏览器并打开任务管理器(Task Manager)。您将看到一个Chromium进程正在运行。它的徽标类似于Chrome浏览器徽标，但颜色可能为蓝色。杀死(Kill)您看到的所有chrome.exe或chromium.exe进程。(chromium.exe)
2]卸载恶意程序
接下来打开 Control Panel > Programs and features以查看程序列表。检查您是否看到蓝色Chromium图标或任何其他可疑程序。如果这样做，请卸载该程序。
查找已知的恶意程序，例如Power+、APP+、Smash APP+、PDFPoof、BatBitRst、MessengerNow、SearchAd、MyPrintableCoupons、Reading Cursors、ProMediaConverter、PDFOnline-express，参见 Scenic Elf(See Scenic Elf)、Clickware、Easy Speedtest或WebDiscover。
3]删除Chromium用户(Remove Chromium user)数据和设置
为防万一，您也可以打开C:\Users\username\AppData\Local隐藏文件夹，删除Chromium 文件夹(Chromium folder)。使用Google Chrome浏览器，此文件夹将自动重新填充真实数据。
接下来，打开已安装的浏览器并浏览所有已安装的浏览器插件和扩展(installed browser add-ons and extensions)。如果您发现任何可疑或恶意文件或性质可疑的文件，请将其卸载或删除。
我还建议您与AdwCleaner一起对您的(AdwCleaner)防病毒软件(antivirus software)进行全面扫描，因为该工具非常适合卸载Browser Hijackers和可能不需要的程序(Potentially Unwanted Programs)。
全部完成后，继续将您想要的网页设置为浏览器主页(set your desired web page as the browser home page)，并在您的浏览器设置(Browser Settings)中，将首选搜索引擎更改为浏览器的默认搜索(default search on your browser)。
完成此操作后，您可能需要运行CCleaner来清除残留的 PC 垃圾文件和注册表项。
4]检查(Check)未知的Chrome(Unknow Chrome)扩展
虽然大多数Chromium 浏览器(Chromium Browsers)都将自己模仿为浏览器，但众所周知，有些浏览器会按规则运行，而是通过扩展来实现。在尝试卸载病毒时，检查任何可能影响您体验的不需要的或恶意的扩展程序同样重要。
这些扩展可能是由于意外安装或通过捆绑软件拍摄的，或者您可能是从Chrome 商店(Chrome Store)安装的。
- 打开Chrome，然后点击地址栏。
- 输入“chrome://extensions/”并按Enter键
- 在“扩展(Extensions)”列表中，查找是否有一个您尚未安装。
- 删除它并重新启动浏览器。
这同样适用于其他浏览器，例如Microsoft Edge、Mozilla Firefox。按照步骤删除扩展。完成后，您可以选择将浏览器重置为其默认设置。(reset the browser to its default settings.)
Chromium 病毒(Chromium Virus)是一个已知的罪魁祸首，它一直在接管浏览器设置、窃取用户数据、更改默认搜索引擎等等。虽然这些步骤可确保您从计算机中删除病毒，但您需要对浏览体验更加警惕，这一点很重要。除非您确定该程序，否则应避免从 Internet 安装任何内容。我希望这篇文章具有足够的教育意义，并帮助您从Windows 11/10Chromium病毒。
为什么 Chromium 会在我的 PC 上弹出？
如果Chrome浏览器在从Startup中删除并从(Startup)Task Manager中关闭后仍继续启动，则最好将其删除，因为这是不正常的。转到Control Panel > Program Features，删除听起来像Chromium的可疑应用程序，然后将其卸载。
Chrome与 Chromium：有什么区别(Difference)？
Chrome是谷歌(Google)的浏览器，而Chromium是开源浏览器。Chrome使用带有一些附加特性和功能的Chromium 。虽然Chrome更加精致并被全球消费者使用，但Chromium面向开发人员。
为什么我不能从我的计算机中删除 Chromium？
如果你找不到类似Chromium的东西，但不断弹出，那么它可能是另一个软件包的一部分。您将不得不卸载它。
Chromium运行时打开任务(Task)管理器，然后右键单击任务并找到文件位置。检查文件夹以了解它是哪个程序，然后将其卸载。
All the best!
How to Remove Chromium Virus from Windows 11/10
This Chromium malware removal instruction will help you uninstall & remove Chromium virus & rogue Chromium-based browsers from your Windows computer. You will not only learn about it but also bring the browsing experience back to normal. You may need admin permission for some of the methods in the post. It is applicable for Windows 11 and Windows 10.
What Is Chromium?
Chromium is a legitimate open-source browser project, aka Chromium project, to build safer, faster, and more stable ways so users can experience a smooth browsing experience. It forms the basis for the Google Chrome browser. However, since Chromium and Chrome sound so similar, malware writers are using this name and using Chromium to push malicious code onto Windows computers.
What Is the Chromium Virus? What does it do?
Whether you use the Google Chrome browser or not, this virus can get into your computer. Several Chromium-based browsers of doubtful nature can sneak into your system and compromise it. They could track you, collect information, steal sensitive data, display advertisements, and popups, engage in Identity Theft, or cause browser redirects.
BeagleBrowser, BrowserAir, BoBrowser, Chedot, eFast, Fusion, MyBrowser, Olcinium, Palikan, Qword, Tortuga, Torch are some of the suspicious Chromium browsers that engage in such tactics. Interesting to note that all these viruses are made using the same Chromium software and may look like a legitimate browser.
Once the user installs it, it can redirect users to fake search results, similar-looking bank pages, and even websites using the Credit Card details. Everything is captured and saved to a server which is then utilized for fraud.
How Does Chromium Browser Infect the Computer?
The common entry methods for Chromium virus are freeware downloads as bundleware and spam e-mails. Since these PUPs sneak into your computer, you must be alert using the installation of any software and ensure that it or other third-party offers are not hidden under the Advanced or Custom Install option. Also, at times installed through a malicious extension.
Once installed, it will take over all file associations, hijack URL associations, and set itself as the default browser. It will also change your browser homepage and default search engine. The worst part is that they look similar to Chrome and may even use the Chrome logo. If you are not very careful, it will be easy to target.
Signs the Chromium Virus Is on Your Computer
- Check if the default search engine of the browser has changed without your consent.
- The search provider changes every time you open a new tab or click on the search bar in the browser.
- Search results are not as relevant as before.
- The number of advertisements and pop-ups seems unnatural.
- Offer Premium version for free.
They are also called browser hijackers, which come in the form of an open-source web browser.
How to Remove Chromium Virus from Windows 11/10
If you find that you are infected with the Chromium malware, I suggest you do the following:
- Kill Suspicious Programs
- Uninstall Malicious Programs
- Remove Chromium user data and settings
- Check for Unknow Chrome Extensions
You will need admin permission for some of these.
1] Kill Suspicious Programs
Close all your browsers and open the Task Manager. You will see a Chromium process running. It has a logo similar to the Chrome browser logo but could be blue in color. Kill all the chrome.exe or chromium.exe processes that you see.
2] Uninstall Malicious Programs
Next open Control Panel > Programs and features to see the list of programs. Check if you see a blue color Chromium icon or any other suspicious programs. If you do, uninstall the program.
Look for known malicious programs such as Power+, APP+, Smash APP+, PDFPoof, BatBitRst, MessengerNow, SearchAd, MyPrintableCoupons, Reading Cursors, ProMediaConverter, PDFOnline-express, See Scenic Elf, Clickware, Easy Speedtest, or WebDiscover.
3] Remove Chromium user data and settings
As a matter of abundant precaution, you could also open C:\Users\username\AppData\Local hidden folder and delete the Chromium folder. Using the Google Chrome browser, this folder will re-populate itself automatically with the genuine data.
Next, open your installed browsers and go through all the installed browser add-ons and extensions. If you find anything suspicious or malicious files or of doubtful nature, uninstall or remove it.
I also recommend that you run a full scan of your antivirus software along with AdwCleaner, as this tool is good for uninstalling Browser Hijackers & Potentially Unwanted Programs.
Once all is done, go ahead and set your desired web page as the browser home page, and in your Browser Settings, change the preferred search engine as the default search on your browser.
Having done this, you may want to run CCleaner to clear up residual PC junk files and registry entries.
4] Check for Unknow Chrome Extensions
While most of the Chromium Browsers mimic themselves as browsers, some are known to play by rules and instead come in extensions. When trying to uninstall the virus, it is equally important that you check on any unwanted or malicious extension that might be taking over your experience.
These extensions might have resulted from accidental install or cam via a bundled software, or you may have installed it from the Chrome Store.
- Open Chrome and then click on the address bar.
- Type—chrome://extensions/ and press the Enter keyt
- In the Extensions list, locate if there is one that you have not installed.
- Remove it and restart the browser.
The same applies to others browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox. Follow the steps to remove the extension. Once done, you can then choose to reset the browser to its default settings.
Chromium Virus is a known culprit that has been taking over browser settings, stealing user data, changing the default search engine, and so on. While these steps make sure you remove the virus from your computer, it is important that you need to more vigilant about the browsing experience. Installing anything from the internet should be avoided unless you are sure about the program. I hope the post was educational enough and helped you uninstall or remove the Chromium virus from Windows 11/10.
Why is Chromium popping up on my PC?
If the Chrome browser keeps launching itself even when removed from the Startup and closed from the Task Manager, it’s best to remove it because that is not normal. Go to Control Panel > Program Features, remove the suspicious app, which sounds like Chromium, and uninstall it.
Chrome vs. Chromium: What’s the Difference?
Chrome is a browser from Google and Chromium is an open-source browser. Chrome uses Chromium with some added features and functionality. While Chrome is much more refined and used by consumers worldwide, Chromium is oriented towards developers.
Why can’t I remove Chromium from my computer?
If you cannot find anything like Chromium, but keep getting the pop-up, then it might be part of another software package. You will have to uninstall that.
Open Task manager when Chromium is running, and then right-click on the task and locate the file location. Check the folder to understand which program it is, and then uninstall it.
All the best!
