So I was installing roboform today and was unable to stop the process chrome.exe *32... Even when I uninstalled chrome. This is the error I got:
I used lockhunter and it said it was located in %appdata%\Local\Google\Chrome. However, it was unable to unlock, delete or rename. When I use explorer to delete or rename that folder, it says it's being used by Chrome. Even after restarting my computer it still does this. I've tried using the built in chrome task manager (Wrench > View Background Pages) and I can't seem to find a process there that has the same amount of memory.
I have run many, many virus scans, by:
- Microsoft security essentials
- AVG (Free version)
- Malwarebytes (Pro version)
- Norton 360 (Pro version)
- McAfee (Pro Version)
- Avira (Free version)
- Avast! Antivirus (Free version)
None of which returned with any viruses.
