Remove a Google Chrome extension "Installed by enterprise policy"

Google Chrome extension "Installed by enterprise policy" - how to remove?

This removal guide shows how to remove a Google Chrome extension that was "Installed by enterprise policy". Note that recently, there is a rise in adware infections, and in many cases, these potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) install on users' Internet browsers disguised as legitimate extensions. Commonly, potentially unwanted applications are bundled with free software downloaded from the Internet, the installation of which, is often a consequence of not paying close attention to the installation steps.

To avoid inadvertent adware or PUP installation, Internet users should always install freeware choosing the 'Custom Installation' option rather than 'Typical Installation' - and be sure to opt-out of any changes to your Internet browser settings. Also, disallow installation of any additional software. In this removal guide I will demonstrate how to remove the "Coupon Server" Google Chrome extension that is marked as "Installed by enterprise policy". I chose this extension simply as an example, however, this removal guide is generic and will help you to remove any Chrome extension that is marked as installed by enterprise policy.

To check the Google Chrome extensions: Click on the bars icon (top right corner of Google Chrome), select 'Tools' and click 'Extensions'.

Here is an example of a Chrome extension that is marked as "Installed by enterprise policy" (it is greyed-out, and therefore, users are unable to disable or remove it):

When dealing with "Installed by enterprise policy" Google Chrome extensions, first check for any recently-installed software within your operating system's 'Add/remove programs'. In some cases, uninstalling this software will also eliminate the associated Internet browser extension.

Windows 8 users:

Right-click in the lower left corner of the screen, in the Quick Access Menu select "Control Panel". In the opened window choose "Uninstall a Program." Look for recently added software, select the entry and click Uninstall.

Windows 7 users:

Click "Start" ("Windows Logo" in the bottom left corner of your desktop), choose "Control Panel". Locate "Programs and Features". Look for recently added software, select the entry and click Uninstall.

Windows XP users:

Click "Start", choose "Settings" and click "Control Panel". Locate and click "Add or Remove Programs". Locate "Programs and Features". Look for "recently added software, select this entry, and click Remove.

After uninstalling the unwanted software, check your Internet browser extensions. If you continue to observe unwanted entries in your Google Chrome extensions list, continue with the removal instructions.

Firstly, you need to make a note of the ID of the unwanted "Installed by enterprise policy" extension. You will need this in later removal steps to verify the ID of an extension. Click on the bars icon (top right of the Google Chrome), select "Tools" and click on "Extensions", select "Developer Mode". 

To remove the "Installed by enterprise policy" Chrome extension, you firstly need to close Google Chrome:

After closing Google Chrome, remove the registry entries of the "Installed by enterprise policy" extension:

In Windows XP - Click Start, Run. In the opened window type "regedit".

In Windows 7 - Click Windows Logo (Start), in the "Search Programs and Files" field, type "regedit" and press Enter.

In the opened Registry Editor click "Edit" and select "Find...".

In the opened window paste the ID of the "Installed by enterprise policy" Chrome extension which you are trying to remove and click "Find next" button.

Remove the registry key matching the Data value of the "Installed by enterprise policy" extension's ID (right click on the registry key and select "Delete"):

Confirm that you want to remove the registry entry by clicking "Yes" button.

After removing the registry entry of the "Installed by enterprise policy" Chrome extension, remove the associated files. To do this, Open "My Computer" and navigate to "C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions". Remove the directory matching the ID of the "Installed by enterprise policy" Chrome Extension.

You can access your AppData directory by typing %USERPROFILE% (Windows XP) or %localappdata% (Windows 7 and Windows 8),  in the Run dialog box.

Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine (or C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\User) folder and remove the file named Registry.pol

Finally open Google Chrome and check the extensions list. The "Installed by enterprise policy" extension should now be removed.

Complete Setup Guide for Ruby, Cucumber and Watir on Windows

  Introduction

This is an updated version of our previous post on getting a cucumber installation set up on Windows. It has become one of the most popular resources for this on the web, but has aged a little since we published it in 2011.

With this updated guide, we’d like to kick off a new round of cucumber-related blog posts.

What is Cucumber?

Cucumber is an Open Source software tool for test automation. Its basic concept is that test cases should be captured in human language (a form of structured English called gherkin), but automating the execution of test cases is best done in a programming language. The cucumber tool provides the glue between the two, reporting test results in the human language again.

The next post in the series will provide an introduction to basic cucumber concepts

Installation

We’ll start this round of cucumber posts with installation instructions so you can follow the next posts as you read them.

After following these instructions, you will have installed cucumber, as well as Watir, a convenient wrapper around the industry leading Selenium browser automation framework, as well as Ruby, the programming language of choice for cucumber test automation. With all three combined, we can test web applications as demonstrated in a later post.

Software Versions

These instructions have been tested on Windows 7 and Windows 8, with both 32bit and 64bit installations. Additionally, Ruby versions 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 have been used for these instructions.

32bit vs. 64bit

All of the software packages we’re about to install run on 32bit Windows and 64bit Windows, with one small caveat: on 64bit Windows, cucumber will produce warnings about a missing “gherkin lexer”, but otherwise work just fine. If such warnings irritate you, you can work around them with some deeper knowledge of native Ruby gems. Otherwise, we recommend sticking to 32bit packages.

Step 1: Install Ruby

On Windows, the best place to start is the RubyInstaller download page. Download and install the Ruby version of your choice. We’ll use 32bit Ruby 2.2.2 here.

In main installer window, you have four choices to make:

1. The installation path. We’re going to use C:\Ruby in this example rather than using a version-specific installation path. Whenever you see C:\Ruby, pick the installation path you chose here.
2. Whether to install Tcl/Tk support. This is not required for cucumber.
3. Whether to add Ruby executables to your path. This is required for the rest of these posts to work well.
4. Whether to associate certain files with this Ruby installation. If you have only one version of Ruby installed, this is recommended.

Ruby Installer (64 bit)

Step 2: Extract DevKit

DevKit is required for some Ruby packages (called “gems”) to be installed. It can be downloaded from the same downloads page. Note that for Ruby 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2, the same version can be used. We’re using 32bit DevKit here.

The executable is just a self-extracting archive. You can extract the archive anywhere you want, but we’ll use C:\Ruby\devkit here.

DevKit Extraction

Step 3: Install DevKit

Once DevKit is extracted, you need to go to the Windows Command Console to install it.

1. Run a command by pressing the Windows key and the R key.
2. Write “cmd” into the input field.
3. Hit enter.

Run Command Console

In the command console, go to the DevKit installation path, C:\Ruby\devkit, and enter two commands to finish the DevKit installation.

C:\Users\you> cd \Ruby\devkit C:\Ruby\devkit> ruby dk.rb init C:\Ruby\devkit> ruby dk.rb install

Step 4: Install Cucumber and other Ruby gems

Now you’ve got your system set up for Ruby to download and install “gem” packages. To install cucumber, first update the current gem setup:

C:\Users\you> gem update --system

Next, install the gems you need for cucumber web testing. We recommend at least the following:

C:\Users\you> gem install --no-ri --no-rdoc rspec C:\Users\you> gem install --no-ri --no-rdoc win32console C:\Users\you> gem install --no-ri --no-rdoc watir-webdriver C:\Users\you> gem install --no-ri --no-rdoc cucumber

You can also install multiple packages in a single command, e.g.

C:\Users\you> gem install --no-ri --no-rdoc rspec cucumber

Step 5: Run Cucumber

At this point, you should be able to execute cucumber and watch it complain about not having tests to run.

C:\Users\you\Documents> cucumber No such file or directory - features. You can use `cucumber --init` to get started.

Let’s do what cucumber suggests, shall we?

C:\Users\you\Documents> cucumber --init create features create features/step_definitions create features/support create features/support/env.rb

We’ll explain all the stuff that gets created here later. Right now, if we run cucumber again now, it’ll complain a lot less:

C:\Users\you\Documents> cucumber 0 scenarios 0 steps 0m0.000s

And there you have it! Cucumber runs zero test scenarios containing zero steps, in zero seconds. That seems about right for a fresh installation!

Step 6: Install Bundler

Installing Ruby gems via the gem command is generally the way to install packages system-wide. If you work a lot on test automation suites, though, it’s quite likely that you want different versions of each package for different projects. For this purpose, the Ruby community has come up with bundler, which we thoroughly recommend to use in your test automation projects.

C:\> gem install bundler

We’ll discuss the use of bundler in later posts, but for now you should just install it so we can refer to it later.
