Google Software Removal Tool - Fixes Chrome hijacking on Windows

[Arthur]

This looks like it could be quite useful.

 

Website / Download

 

If you notice Chrome behaving strangely (for example, showing you unusual start-up pages, toolbars or pop-up ads that you can’t get rid of), it may be due to an unwanted program on your computer.

 

You may be able to fix the problem by downloading and running the Software Removal Tool. Think of this as a “factory reset” of Chrome. It restores Chrome's original settings and removes programs that affect its behaviour.

Tried it with my recent chrome woes, didnt find anything which was good (or bad really, as I have still got that 5 second lag problem on my PC, thank god its not my chromebook though) I am all for proper removal tools for when things go bang

Truth is Chrome is hard to hijack to start with. I find it is one of the easiest browsers to clean up after something has had a run at it. Dead easy to remove extensions, and changing homepage and default search can only be controlled by active extensions anyways....
