Any solution for play-bar.net redirection ?
No extensions/add ons installed
It is happening for all browsers and after clean installation of new browser too
I have not installed any extensions or add ons so how can I remove/uninstall them?
I have done the regedit thing but it couldn’t solve my issue

Then it must be installed as a software,u ninstall it from there.
no such entries in Installed programs list
You may just fully scan your computer with an anti-virus if you can’t find the malware on your own.

Open adblock/origin and goto settings. Enable third party ad-lists too.
Just one solution to these problems is a good antivirus. I also faced same problem but then I installed KIS 2016 and all these adwares were clean bold 
1 right click on your chrome and select properties
Now in target if u see anything after chrome.exe /xxxx/xxxx
Clear those xxxxx from the target link
To clean the computer visit the link after chrome.exe to get the destination folder of virus…..delete that folder
Buy me a iphone 7 …done
For now … just left the laptop in service center… either they will format it of save original window … after removing virus manually

More than anti-virus you need ‘Common Sense 2016’. These ‘viruses’ don’t install on their own.

its most likely the browser extension only but very diff to remove.
I think it is due to IDM browser extension,but I can’t remove that.

Have you downloaded new software from strange website recently? Check the Properties of your all browsers by right clicking the browser shortcut to see if there is the malicious URL in the Target field.

False positives and when I scanned an infected users PC via ESET, it detected the virus which Quick heal couldn’t.

I have formatted my laptop with service center help as I even doesnt have recovery as well now using quick heal as anti virus … .
Now everything is working fine from 4 days at least
It i also not working
one option is to boot from a bootable Ubuntu usb drive, manually search and delete the malware files. But it can take a hell lot of time.
In the future if this happens completely uninstall any software you installed using Revo uninstaller and run a Adw cleaner and restart your PC .
PS sorry if I misunderstood didn’t read fully
For adware:
Just go to the extensions tab on Google Chrome, on Configuration; then activate the Developer Mode. Exit Chrome, and enter again. Go to the Extensions tab, and under the ADWARE program tab, there must be a text where it says: “Loaded from:…….” Click there, remove everything it is in there, and remove it again from the Recycle Bin. Restart Chrome, and you won’t see this adware again.
For browser hijacker:
1.Reset browser settings

2.Disable/Remove Chrome extensions
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/329621...
3.Download Security tool/Removal tool and run it from cmdline in Windows Safe Mode.
Do scan your machine for several times.
or Try the manual removal guide like this:
Example:G-search.pro
Does it only change default homepge of all your browsers? Try resettings browser settings to default and clean shorcut properties. Do clean shorcut properties!
If you do not want to download removal tool, you can try some manual removal guide here:

2.Disable/Remove Chrome extensions
