Question for the computer guys in here! How do I get rid of this Ads By IcoConverter in Chrome? I tried to uninstall it by going under the tool bar in extensions but it seems it's locked and I can't get rid of it. It shows up IcoConverter 2.2 and says the extension can't be removed or disabled! Tried to even surf around for any fishy looking programs that may have been recently installed but found nothing. Any info on getting rid of this so I don't have to see anymore ads...
Sounds like you have adaware. Uninstall adaware from chrome and check to see if you are able to remove it from programs in your control panel. Then you will need to run adaware/malware removal program. Try malwarebytes or hitmanpro. Both are free. Then restart your computer. I'm not familiar with IcoConverter but that should be a simple way to remove it. If not you may have to remove it from your regedit but without looking it up I wouldn't be able to tell which keys to delete.
Looked it up and it shows up as a virus. You need rkill and malwarebytes.
Download rkill here http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/rkill/
Download malwarebytes if you don't have it.
Download Rkill into a flash drive.
Enter your computer in safe mode with networking by pressing F8 during startup. Then run rkill first, then run malwarebytes.

Either way if they are showing him ads there is something not adding up. He's saying that he's seeing ads.

I never installed the program... My computer shut down the other day and after it did it just appeared. I have ran scans for any virus but nothing comes up... Couldn't find any adware programs under the control panel. I thought I may find some sketch program recently added the past couple of days but nothing showed up..
I will try your info King of Nicotine and see what happens...
Thanks for the replies fellas!

3 things I usually do forst
1) Check for any plugins, addons, or extensions and delete anything you don't want
2) Go to control panel, programs and features and uninstall anything that might be an adware application
3) Go to your options and check to see if they change the home link
if that doesn't work then you can download various free virus removal applications out there. Some off the top of my HiJackThis, TDSSKiller.
