I recently accidentally downloaded a fake adobe flash player. It changed my home page in Google Chrome, added some browser extensions and installed some suspicious programs. I uninstalled these programs, but I can’t make google as my homepage.

If you downloaded a fake adobe flash player, then most likely one or more malicious programs were installed on your computer. Adware is most commonly installed, but in some cases spyware may also be installed when you run a fake flash player. To scan your computer for viruses, find and remove adware, spyware and other malware, I recommend that you use free malware removal tools.
