    Recently, my browser(Chrome) was infected with GuruAid.com virus. It keeps changing me homepage and other default settings. Can anyone help me fix this problem? Thanks a lot!

    I have found this post on how to remove GuruAid.com. It is also helpful, anyway, thank you all the same!

    Download ADWCleaner. https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/

    Run it. Let it do it's thing, then after a reboot go to Chrome's extensions area and remove the extension. It should remove the virus entirely. If you homepage is still the virus page, simply change the homepag back to normal.

    you can also try with Junkware Remove Tool.

    It's a very useful little program which remove all kinds of bloatware.
