I have malware on my computer. They added unwanted items to my browser. I use Google Chrome, but no extensions appeared to be installed. I removed them from the control panel, yet they remained. I checked my program files and found virus files there. I attempted to delete them, but the system said they were still open in another application even though nothing else was running. Need assistance.

I don't have a virus scanner installed, but I can help you check for updates or guide you through installing one.

Consider the title carefully. Run AdwCleaner and HitmanPro 3, followed by a thorough scan with Malwarebytes to confirm everything is clean.

A solid choice is Malwarebyte, which identifies many issues effectively.

Assuming no antivirus or malware protection in place is likely a forward-thinking approach.

I understand these pesky issues. Running a scan with MalwareBytes and restarting the system should help resolve them.

Perform a scan using Safe Mode to avoid the virus reacting. On Windows 8 & 8.1, press Shift while clicking Restart in the charms bar to access safe mode settings. If that doesn’t work, use another computer to make a live anti-malware disk for booting. Let me know if you need further assistance!
