Files:
Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these files.
The file at "<$LOCALAPPDATA>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\opjgedmmhamoaibhmhlllgfcocgcjfmk\1.1.15.1_0\manifest.json".
Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If PU.FA.Shopzy uses rootkit technologies, use the rootkit scanner integrated into Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) 2.x or our Total Commander anti-rootkit plugins (http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=3).
You will have to use a global search for files without a name specified. Be extra careful, because just the name might not be enough to identify files!
Important: There are more files that cannot be safely described in simple words. Please use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) to remove them.
