I downloaded a free extension to Chrome but it came with a virus (saveshare). I now have to keep on uninstalling it when I go to Chrome.

and today I got a extension called DoscaCConvErter (which I didn't download) and I'm thinking its a virus.

I'm not allowed to download any anti-virus system anymore(because the last time I did that my compute 🤬 up) and I'm thinking if I uninstall the free extension. The virus extensions would go away? Or even restalling before I got the extension.

Would these work?

What?

You're going to need software to remove that crap.
Malwarebytes' for example, or SUPERAntiSpyware, maybe even some more, hard to say now.

Only download add-ons from safe sources and for the flying spaghetti monster's sake, get some anti virus software.
 
You can't go wrong with Malwarebytes. Also look at my post in the thread titled 'Pesky Adware', that link should help you out, I can tell you for a fact none of the software I downloaded following that article's advice had any kind of negative effect on my PC.
 
Doesn't matter now :P. I got rid of it all by uninstalling and reinstalling chrome :).
