Eset Internet Security is removing this extension. Whenever I try to reinstall it, Eset removes it again. Seems to me The Great Suspender is a malware. Uninstalling it completely.

Just removed and added again to Chrome. My antivirus ESET INTERNET SECURITY found and remove a trojan called "js/chromex.agent.ca" from your extension. As result your extension not active. Have same problem with extension Screenshot Master: Full Page Capture but there is different trojan "JS/Chromex.Agent.BZ". Please contact with ESET company and fix problem. Your extension is very useful. I was using it last 2 years
