In reply to George Slaine. I'm using a moto g pure android 12. I also cannot log out of Gmail or Google account. Google is crap now. It is a maze of nonsense to unsubscribe advertising and permissions. I am venting but it's such a rats nest now.

It’s on my phone. I think it came with Bell app. Bell in Canada uses Telus SIM cards, they are the same company basically. Corruption is rampant in Canada. I still have not been able to remove bwanet

Hi, I come here to share with you how I removed the virus “web.bwanet.ca” from Chrome on my SMARTPHONE. I had no help and I searched a solution for so long !! But I finally succeeded.
Then here are the steps to follow :

step 1 – Open CHROME on the smartphone, by default the virus is attached to Chrome and is launched once Chrome is open.

step 2 – in the settings, default settings, open Browser
google.com is the one selected
I choose another one. For example Bing

step 3 – in the settings, Homepage, specify a new homepage, for example google(.)ca/

step 4 – in the settings, Security and Privacy, Erase browsing data, advances options, I selected ‘browser history’, ‘cookies and site data’, ‘Images and files in cache memory’, ‘site settings’, then erase data

step 5 – close Chrome.

step 6 – in the settings of the smartphone, Apps, infos on the apps, select Chrome, Storage, empty cache then erase data

step 7 – open Chrome again, normally the virus has gone
Now it is possible to go back to Chrome settings to put back google.com as the default Browser. You can close and open Chrome as often as you want, web.bwanet.ca is not there anymore, Chrome really redirect on google.com

I hope that all this will be useful for you and will help you clearing Chrome of this virus on your Smartphone.
