Well I did actually explain that it persisted AFTER uninstalling from the control panel. Malwarebytes worked great for me when I couldn't uninstall or find it in Extensions.

Yeah it's said to hang around and bring in other apps/malware. Uninstalling is just a cleaner way of getting rid of some of it, before a malware program mops up the rest. Just so your aware of them. However, sounds like your already on top of it all.

Just try to remove all traces of the files for this virus. Use regedit to delete the registry files for it, make sure to see if it is in your startup applications (if so untick/remove it), check your task mananger for the application the right click on it and click open file location and delete everything relating to it, and search for it through file explorer or my computer and delete all traces. Tends to work for me xD and do virus scans and stuff like that obviously.
