If you have installed Orbit Downloader and then uninstalled it, chances are there for downloads from Chrome failing as they will redirect the download handle to the Orbit Downloader which is not present in the system. This happens because, the Orbit uninstaller skips to remove a plugin file from the Google Chrome Plugin directory. You have to manually delete the file to completely remove the Orbit Downloader plugin from the system. Just follow these steps.
1. Close Google Chrome
2. Go to
C:\Users\<YOUR USER NAME HERE>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\Plugins
3. Delete the file nporbit.dll
If you failed to find nporbit.dll in this location, search for the file and delete it. The same steps can be used for removing it from Firefox or Opera by navigating to corresponding plugin paths.

Hello! Someone in my Facebook group shared this site with us so I came to look it over. I’m definitely loving the information. I’m book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Exceptional blog and fantastic style and design.
I found the DLL in C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\Plugins
and removed it… Happy to get rid of it!
Cheeeeeers
You totally Rock!!!
thank you very much…really helpful…
Did it, but now when I click a download link it brings up a pop up that says “Missing Plugin”
FFS!!!!! Will I ever get my chrome back? Orbit downloader ought to be classified as a virus at this point.
Thank You….
VERY VERY HELPFULLY ! I OWN YOU A BEER
