Chrome Users - Check if you have installed any of these FAKE MALICIOUS extensions


  • AdRemover for Google Chrome™ (10 million+ users)
  • uBlock Plus (8 million+ users)
  • [Fake] Adblock Pro (2 million+ users)
  • HD for YouTube™ (400,000+ users)
  • Webutation (30,000+ users)



Discovered by Andrey Meshkov, co-founder of Adguard, these five malicious extensions are copycat versions of some legitimate, well-known Ad Blockers.

The malicious extension then receives commands from the remote server, which are executed in the extension 'background page' and can change your browser's behavior in any way.
