如何在 Windows 10 上卸载 Chromium(How to Uninstall Chromium on Windows 10)
Chromium与(Chromium)Chrome几乎相似,但有一些附加功能。浏览器的源代码(source code)可以从互联网上下载、修改和即兴制作成一个开发良好的网络浏览器(web browser)。以下是您应该了解的有关Chromium(Chromium)的一些要点。
- Chromium的代码库被许多浏览器广泛使用,例如Edge、Opera、Samsung Internet以及其他拥有活跃用户和 Web 开发人员的类似浏览器。
- Chromium 浏览器(Chromium browser)的主要目标是为Google等非开源浏览器提供源代码(source code )。
- 一个干净的Chromium 包(Chromium pack)不会在您的 PC 中自动启动,并且它只有一个有限的软件组合(software combo)与之关联。但是,黑客试图利用这个平台侵入你的系统。
- 当Chromium(Chromium)被证明是恶意软件时,会出现多种症状。如果您也遇到它们,那么您应该从您的 Windows 10 PC 中卸载它们。首先(First),您必须考虑将Chromium声明为病毒并按照适当的步骤从您的 PC 上完全卸载它。
铬是病毒吗?(Is Chromium a Virus?)
Chromium 不是病毒,除非您从其官方网站(official website)安装它。它是完全无害的,您不应将其视为威胁。恶意软件(Malware)开发人员使用Chromium作为媒介,通过受恶意软件感染的版本进入您的 PC。这会诱使您将它们安装在计算机上。当您在 PC 上安装错误或受感染版本的Chromium时,您的计算机将被广告软件倾倒。您将被重定向到其他不相关的链接以下载任何有害软件。该恶意软件将持续监控您的在线行为(online behavior),并且会向您建议一些受感染的软件作为广告,说服您将其安装在您的 PC 上。如果您感染了Chromium在您的 PC 中,您可能会遇到以下任何一种症状。
- 如果您以前没有安装过Chromium 浏览器(Chromium browser ),您会突然在您的 PC 上安装它。如果您无意中安装了它们,您将在Windows 10 PC中安装受感染的Chromium 。
- 您的默认浏览器(default browser)可以在您不知情和未经许可(knowledge and permission)的情况下从Crome更改为(Crome)Chromium。
- 当您尝试在Windows 10 PC 上(Windows 10)卸载 Chromium(uninstall Chromium )时,您无法在“控制面板”或“设置”(Control panel or Settings)中找到它。
- 您的 PC 可能运行速度太慢(too slow),或者可能因大量启动(loads of startup)程序消耗过多的CPU资源而被转储。
- 您将始终对触发您安装其他软件的不需要的弹出窗口和通知感到恼火。这些弹出窗口和通知无法被阻止,这表明存在受感染的Chromium 恶意软件(Chromium malware)。
- 新选项卡(New tab)中的搜索门户(search portal)将被更改。
- 您在运行已安装的应用程序和程序(installed applications and programs)时可能会遇到问题。
如果您在 PC 中发现任何这些迹象,则您可能感染了恶意软件的Chromium。忽略这些迹象是不可取的,因为它们会导致巨大的问题。一些感染了恶意软件攻击的基于Chromium的浏览器是(Chromium)BoBrowser、Tortuga、eFast、BrowseAir、MyBrowser、Palikan、WebDiscover Browser、Olcinium、Chedot、Qword。此外,还有许多看起来与符号、名称和功能相似的Chromium克隆。(Chromium)在处理基于Chromium(Chromium)的浏览器时,您必须非常小心,以使您的 PC 免受恶意软件攻击。
确定铬是病毒吗?(Determine Is Chromium a Virus?)
另一种确认Chromium 恶意软件存在的潜在方法是在(Chromium malware)任务管理器(Task Manager)中识别多个Chromium进程。
1. 同时按下Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys打开任务管理器(Task Manager)。
2. 在Processes 选项卡(Processes tab)中,检查是否有两个或多个Chromium实例。
3A。如果您有许多Chromium任务在后台运行,则必须从 PC 中将其卸载。
3B。如果只有少数任务在后台运行,则不构成威胁。但是,如果您愿意,您可以轻松地从您的 PC 上卸载它们。
