Last year, the Google announced plans to lock down Chrome to prevent installation crapware. Unfortunately scammers have found a way to trick users into installing spyware and adware extensions. They just uploaded them to the Chrome Web Store. Apart from that, there are also websites like Download.com that distribute some freeware. Anyone who makes the mistake of clicking Accept Installation will end up with a very slow computer full of crapware.
As an extra precaution, avoid "free" downloads from Download.com. In general, in each installation you should read carefully what the installer says. Pay attention to what you accept.
How Can You Fill Crapware? If you make the mistake and click Accept Installing Programs from Download.com, a window will appear a little later, which automatically loads the Google Chrome Extension page. The installation will then proceed on its own without selecting it.
To remove these extensions, write the following path in the Chrome Address Box:
chrome: // extensions
or go to the Tools - extensions main menu. Click the Chrome bin to remove the extension.
But let's also look at the removal tool software by Google, for those who want an automatic method.
Google recently released a new tool that will help you clean up the program easily tourς Chrome. Θα απενεργοποιήσει όλες σας τις επεκτάσεις. Μετά φυσικά θα πρέπει να ενεργοποιήσετε ξανά μόνο τις επεκτάσεις που θέλετε.
You can download it Software removal tool (it's still beta) from here.
