That sucks a lot trying to find something that is hiding where you do not expect. Have you tried to use a premium antivirus software? I think it might help to get the suspicious files running the extension.
Thanks for the advice did try that but alas no luck have managed to delete the program I reckon there is is still stuff in the registryOriginally Posted by Philquad
It appears to be in installed by enterprise policy in google have found some guides but they are quite involved and include deleting registry items I hate doing that will try to find a removal tool any suggestions ?
Malwarebytes is the most recommended on this forum to the best of memory.
Haven't had to use it yet, however it will be my first choice when needed.
Free download or pro version below.
Edit: Oops, OP already tried this, sorry about that chief.

The information is out there; you just have to let it in."
Your surname is not Ware is it Mal ?Sorry, couldnt help it
As per Tiny's advice, have you tried Malwarebytes ? (Hopefully your surname isnt Ware and you dont bite)
Damn, Tiny didnt read and I followed him
Its pretty bad when you Google this malware and the only result is this thread. Are you sure on the name ??
Maybe an advanced uninstall utility ?
try this it,s free
Have you been in to msconfig and looked at what processes are running, and by individually turning them off, try to find the source?
That's all I can suggest...good luck

HJT is a great tool, but can be dangerous in the wrong hands, so before you make any changes using it, post the log here. FWIW I generally find MBAM works well and have not needed to resort to HJT for a couple of years, pity about that.

I was under the impression that a Xtreamer Prodigy was a media device which uses Android as an OS ?
Yes, TrendMicro's since 2004 is a must-have tool for every Windows user. You use this tool in conjunction with antivirus softwares.
IMPORTANT: HJT isn't useful with 64-bit versions of Win7 / 8.
BTW:
A HJT-logfile is not so easy to analyze. Even for an advanced computer user. With the help of this you are able to get some additional support.

As OP said, it's a Google (Chrome?) Extension ( i.e. browser plug-in ). Each Google Extension can be (separately) uninstalled: GIYF ...
It's abolutely new for me, that Google products can be considered to be / categorized as "malware" - never have read this on the WEB - unless you look at Google's acquisitiveness, LOL.

Is it though ? The name given for it doesnt even appear in a Google search.
He said he couldnt uninstall it.Each Google Extension can be (separately) uninstalled: GIYF ...
Dunno if this helps?
After doing some more searching it seems my previous post is correct. The Xtreamer Prodigy seems to be a media box, not a Windows based software.
