  1. There is no file to uninstall yet Vosteran still pops up in a new tab of Google chrome and had taken over my internet explorer. Please can you add additional help please.

    • Sort by name at the top off window once in add/rrmove programs. .vosteran has another name in front of it that Starts with a w I beleive

      • Yeah, they change it from time to time. Recently I saw it with WSE_Vosteran entry in Control Panel. Anyway, search for any suspicious programs installed (or recently installed). You can use Malwarebytes or SpyHunter to remove it also. Then use Avast Browser Cleanup to reset the settings.
