There are usually 2 entries with that ID that you need to delete, and they are usually located in: HKEY_USERS\Group Policy Objects\Machine\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallForcelist HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallForcelist
Only after you’ve edited the Registry will this extension be able to be removed from Chrome like any other extension.
After you’ve deleted the extension from Chrome, you should run an anti-malware scan to make sure you don’t have any other malicious files hanging around.
