Tips to Remove Ghokswa Browser from the Computer

Infected with Ghokswa Browser? How frustrated.

If you have Ghokswa Browser on your computer, you may have the same experience like below:

Hi. Chrome is always my default browser, yet when launching it recently, I got this message that it is not my default browser anymore. I clicked "set as default" & got a message that a verified publisher named "BYSENDA TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED" wants to install "BROWSERSERVER.EXE" on my computer. This plus the fact that I have noticed slightly unusual behaviors of chrome made me suspicious & I uninstalled it. Surprise, using the chrome shortcut on my desktop it can still run… I checked shortcut properties and found out that it directs to "ghokswa Browser\ghokswa\chrome.exe". Is this OK? Any advice? Tnx.

What is Ghokswa? How do I get rid of it permanently? I removed it yesterday and today its back today?
