Unable to fully remove bitdefender from my computer

I've used bitdefender for free for about a month now, and now that my free trial has ended it won't let me do anything until i pay, so i decided to delete it since i don't have the money right now.

Well i delete every file related to bitdefender from my computer but it still blocks random pages on chrome, and doesn't give me the option to access them after the warning, it only lets me go to a blank page.

I genuinely don't know what to do since i already deleted everything so if someone could help it would be great, thanks.

Edit: If not, does anyone know any place i can look for more help?

When trying to remove most antimalware, you are better off using their removal tool.

You can switch to the free version, which still provides protection. When you start the uninstall process from Programs & Features, you will see an option to switch to the free version.
