Question How do I remove the RosaCanina extension from my PC ?

[Parv patel]

Hi everyone. I was using my computer like normal and went to use the search engine and it kept searching with yahoo instead of google. I went into the chrome settings and made sure it was set to google which it was. I then found an extension called RosaCanina in my Chrome and Microsoft Edge. The extension does not have a remove button on Chrome or Edge and it says that its installed by your administrator.

I ran the Windows Defender full scan and tried a few antivirus softwares and tried some command prompt stuff I found online. I went into file explorer and tried to remove the extension from there and that didn't work. I also reinstalled chrome and checked my control panel to see if anything was there but found nothing. I want to know if anyone has had this issue and how I can remove it. I really do not want to reinstall Windows but if thats the only way then I will.

Apparently this extension likes to ensure it's installed at all times, so it's more difficult to remove than most, but it's doable.

Good luck!
