Windows 10: How do uninstall the BBWC malware from apps, if I already deleted the folder for it? Or am...

So I saw my google chrom browser was changing to whatever other browser like yahoo, bing, duckgo, ect... and had deleted the folder without knowing that the app won't delete. So now when trying to uninstall the app, it can't find the folder to delete from.

C windows installer folder - Delete?

He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink
Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

Like:
First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
Then type this in command mode as admin
mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.
