Avira antivirus added an extension to chrome without my permission
NEVER DOWNLOAD AVIRA
You can’t even delete your account without contacting customer service.
Did you accept any terms and conditions when you installed Avira? Probably mentioned the add-on.
Norton is even worse. I’ve seen too many computers with multiple Norton extensions installed and a sketchy looking homescreen set in Chrome, all without asking. When you click the “This isn’t what I expected” button, it doesn’t go back to the normal homescreen, either; it switches it to ANOTHER weird search engine.
What have been your actions before that happened?
Same thing happened to me today, it added 3 extensions of Avira. I don’t even have anything related with Avira installed.
Acura has been on my PC for years, I’m sure if this was in the terms they would’ve done it already. I’ve noticed that Avira had updated which is probably what brought the extension along
For windows just head to local app data, then google,chrome ,user data then default ( or your profile ) and extensions then it’ll be there
I didn’t do anything with the Avira app, this just popped up.
even after i uninstalled avira vpn but every new chrome profile I created i have to go in and disable the extension. is there a way to permanently delete it?
At least Chrome notifies you. Good guy Chrome!
This is really strange
Same thing just happened to me. Don’t have Avira installed, new Chrome profile and it added the extension. Wtf is this? Worrying and annoying. Did you find out any more info?
