How do you uninstall a plugin?

How can I get rid of this plugin?

• I started having issues with Google Chrome today. Whenever I would navigate to a new page, I would get an error message stating "internet connection interrupted." If I refreshed the page it would usually load normally. I checked my connection and found no problems there. My downloads have been continuing at a normal speed. I found that this problem could be caused by browser add-ons, but I didn't see any new ones. Then I clicked on the "background pages" tab and noticed a plugin called "gacela" running. I have never installed gacela before, and when I ended the service, my browsing went fine for a few minutes. When I started having problems, I found that gacela had restarted. This plugin does not show up under my list of extensions, and I ran a search and found no files on my computer called gacela. I found the company's website and it is supposed to be a market research program. They have a link for an uninstall tool, but the link is dead. What can I do to get rid of this awful thing that doesn't show up anywhere?

• Answer:

  Go to Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program. See if you find any program that is not familiar to you that may be s related to the gacela plug-in. If there's none, scan your computer for malware: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free After that, reset your Google Chrome. Exit Google Chrome and open Windows Explorer. For Windows XP, in the Address box, type the following and press enter: %USERPROFILE% \ Local Settings \ Application Data \ Google \ Chrome \ Application Remove the SPACEs before and after the "\". I put them there because Y!A cuts off long words here. Or go to C: > Documents and Settings > YourUserName > Local Settings > Application Data > Google > Chrome > Application Delete the zero byte file named "First Run". For Windows Vista or 7, in the Address box, type the following and press enter: %LOCALAPPDATA% \ Google \ Chrome \ Application Remove the SPACEs before and after the "\". I put them there because Y!A cuts off long words here. Or go to C: > Users > YourUserName > AppData > Local > Google > Chrome > Application Delete the zero byte file named "First Run".
