These Chromium malware removal instruction will help you uninstall & remove Chromium virus & rogue Chromium based browsers from your Windows computer.
Actually, Chromium is a legitimate open-source browser project that forms the basis for Google Chrome browser, but malware writers are using this name and using Chromium to push malicious code on to Windows computers.
Whether you use the Google Chrome browser or not, this virus can get into your computer. There are several Chromium-based browsers of doubtful nature that can sneak into your system and compromise it. They could track you, collect information, steal sensitive data, display advertisements, and popups, engage in Identity Theft, or cause browser redirects.

BeagleBrowser, BrowserAir, BoBrowser, Chedot, eFast, Fusion, MyBrowser, Olcinium, Palikan, Qword, Tortuga, Torch are some of the suspicious Chromium-based browsers that engage in such tactics.
The common entry methods for Chromium virus are freeware downloads as bundleware and spam e-mails. Since these PUPs sneak into your computer, it is important that you be alert using the installation of any software and ensure that it or other third-party offers are not hidden under the Advanced or Custom Install option.
Once in, it will take over all file associations, hijack URL associations, and also set itself as the default browser and change your browser homepage and default search engine as well.
Remove Chromium malware
If you find that you are infected with the Chromium malware, I suggest you do the following:
Close all your browsers and open the Task Manager. You will see a Chromium process running. It has a logo similar to the Chrome browser logo but could blue in color. Kill all the chrome.exe or chromium.exe process that you see.

Next open Control Panel > Programs and features and check if you see a Chromium or any other suspicious entry. If you do, uninstall the program.
As a matter of abundant precaution, you could also open C:UsersusernameAppDataLocal hidden folder and delete the Chromium folder. If you are using the Google Chrome browser, this folder will re-populate itself automatically with the genuine data.
Next, open your installed browsers and go through all the installed browser add-ons and extension. If you find anything suspicious or of doubtful nature, uninstall or remove it.
I also recommend that you run a full scan of your antivirus software along with AdwCleaner, as this tool is good for uninstalling Browser Hijackers & Potentially Unwanted Programs.
Once all is done, go ahead and set your desired web page as the browser home page and your preferred search engine as the default search on your browser.
Having done this, you may want to run CCleaner to clear up residual PC junk files and registry entries.
All the best!

In trying to remove Chromium. I found several instances in Regedit and removed them....but I found two more and was unsure if it was ok to remove them.
They are attached. The Chromium page no longer loads, but I was wondering if the two following entries should be deleted:

If you've uninstalled the software, then you can always run a registry cleaner like CCleaner.
However, I would suggest being very careful when editing the registry keys, because you can easily create more problems for yourself later.
I know it's not the answer you are looking for, but unless there's a guide out there that will give you steps to take for Chrome (Chromium), i would uninstall the program, run a registry cleaner, and leave it at that. Most orphan keys and files are not going to cause a lot of trouble anyways, and are generally there for a reason. So if you remove one that is shared by other programs or Windows, it will create more problems than it will fix.
Because I don't know your level of knowledge with computers, I will also point out being an expert does not exempt you from making mistakes like that. At some point, we could all make that 1 mistake. :)

When I had Chromium on my computer, I went in the files to uninstall it, but it was still messing with my computer.
What I had was a bootleg version, which is what you may have. Running a cleaner might work, but what I did was made a folder for Chromium /manually/ then I deleted it. For some reason, it worked.
