    Hello, I have a problem with Google Chrome. I can't change the default search engine. It is some Web chromesearch.today:
    Google Chrome Default Search Engine Stuck on Chromesearch.today - ADW, Malwarebytes Results

    The check box next to "Search engine used in the address bar" is not active. It looks like this: (1) Google Chrome Default Search Engine Stuck on Chromesearch.today - ADW, Malwarebytes Results
    ADW cleaner and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware have not detected anything. Is this a "hard" virus or spyware etc. to detect? How to fix it?

    Include the required scan logs from FRST (addition and frst.txt) in the attachment.

    Next to frst.exe, create the Fixlist.txt file with the contents:
    GroupPolicy: Chrome Group Policy detected

    Thank you very much for help. So it wasn't a virus ??? I'm afraid that maybe there was some "shit" left on the computer. Can I delete these frst.exe and Fixlist.txt files now or do they have to remain on the computer?

    It's just a swapped search engine and blocked the ability to change in Chrome, nothing serious.

    You can delete C: \ FRST, frst.exe and Fixlist.
