Chromium suddenly installed itself on my computer. It activates on startup. Picking "open file location" from the desktop shortcut shows there's an .exe in \AppData\Local\Chromium\Application. I can't find Chromium in the list under "Apps and features" so I haven't been able to uninstall it. Malwarebytes doesn't detect it as malware.

I think this suddenly appeared after I installed bittorrent clients (qbittorrent and bitcomet) but removing those hasn't gotten rid of the Chromium.

Edit: Settings > Apps > Startup shows Chromium but "Apps & features" does not, so I can't find the normal way of uninstalling.

Edit again: the Chromium in \AppData\Local\Chromium\Application is "chrome.exe" but with the blue Chromium logo, while my proper Google Chrome exe is elsewhere in Program Files.

Get Chromium the official way and override the previous installation, then uninstall.

Or just delete all the files and registry keys you can find manually.
