  1. This was very Helpful. I clicked on that stupid TelevisionFanatic thing thinking it would help me find shows and stuff that I wanted, But instead, it just put a toolbar that I’m not used to and didn’t want on my Firefox. And I started freaking out because I am known to break computers from viruses. Thank you so much!

  2. carol mcnally

    I am unable to follow your directions to remove 2 toolbars that state television fanatic home page. can you please remove it. thank you.

    1. lilliam sandoval

      i just can delete fanatic television, it keep saying my chrome book 14 has the wrong app there fore need to go to web store and get the right app

  3. I am afraid to delete the programs because I don’t know which ones I am supposed to have the ones I am not. I don’t want to delete something important and then not know how to get it back.

    1. You can short this uninstall program list by the “Date” then you can easily understand that what exactly installed wrong recently so that you can delete them easily. We also help you if you provide us the name of the programs.

  4. I have followed the steps but I am scared to delete any programs because I am afraid I will delete something I need and won’t know how to get it back. I don’t see any of the programs you listed.

  5. I am not sure it will work. I’m using my mothers comeputer and she will kill me if I ruin her computer. What do I do?

    1. Please follow the manual steps to fix it. steps are listed above on this article. Let us know if doesn’t work.
