I downloaded an app and it installed a shit ton of other Russian apps like Yandex and shit. i manage to find where they were all hiding and destroy them, but I accidentally opened the searchband app and now there is a russian cortana-style searchbar on my taskbar. I can't find the process in task manager. I deleted all other files and programs of searchband, and the last file, searchband64.dll, I cannot delete. I used command prompt, didn't work. I tried to change permissions and stuff in the properties window for the file, but I couldn't change or add or delete anything. When I try to delete it normally it just says that I need permission from XXX (admin account), but I am logged in as XXX, the admin. I tried to use the 360 antivirus app to 'shred and destroy' the files, but it doesn't work. I am scared that there might be side effects if I use apps like file shredder, cause it seems to have changed the taskbar itself, and is not an app or process or whatever. Please help.
