I'm helping someone tune up their computer, and we're trying to remove Webroot Filtering Extension. There is no way to disable or remove from Chrome - it's grayed out. Webroot is no longer on the computer, therefore there there is no uninstall option.
Pertaining Info:
Running Windows 7
Tried to use the Webroot CleanWDF.exe and Webroot Toolbarfix.exe
Tried to completely uninstall Google Chrome including all hidden folders
Then tried to reinstall Google Chrome- the dam thing respawns in Chrome
Tried to clean up the registry of any Webroot lines, then uninstall chrome and reinstall - still spawns
Tried CCleaner to remove extensions in chrome, but it states it cannot because its controlled by something or ? (can't remember)
As you can tell I've also done extensive research on the net -
This is crazy - how do you take this extension off Chrome
BTW: I was able to successfully remove from IE and Firefox, but absolutely nothing works to remove it from chrome!

I finally found something that worked. Hopefully this will help others with the same issue!! I spent a few hours on this stupid thing.
I Googled "Google Chrome extension Installed by enterprise policy - how to remove?"
Hopefully you allow outside links.
