I had a similar issue with a different extension on chrome. This extension is clearly bad but I cant remove it because it says its like managed by my organisation or something.

It's clearly malicious but it seems to be inactive. I just want to remove it. Capture2

    Hi ,

    I recommend you do an analysis with Microsoft's MSRT, analyze Windows Defend Offline scan and Malwarebytes.

    MSRT: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=9905

    Microsoft Defend: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/help-protect-my-pc-with-microsoft-defender-offline-9306d528-64bf-4668-5b80-ff533f183d6c

    After the analysis, open the command prompt (admin) and run the commands: sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, wait for the process to finish and restart the computer.

    Then perform a clean boot and if you want to uninstall applications that you do not use.

    Open the command prompt (admin) and run the commands:

    taskkill /im msedge.exe /f

    reg delete "HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge" /f

    reg delete "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge" /f

    Download Adwcleaner and analyze it after you finish accessing the browser try to delete it.

    Thanks
