マルウェアとして、悪質な方法で感染し、勝手に設定を変更されました。また、拡張機能を削除しても、レジストリに自身の拡張機能を追加するため、chromeで新たなユーザーを追加するたびに、自動的にインストールされます。完全に削除する為には、直接レジストリを弄らなければならず、ある程度パソコンに詳しくなければ対処できません。  以下対処方法(中級者向け) 1 Chromeを閉じた後、タスクマネージャを立ち上げ、ファイル→新しいタスクの実行をクリックし、regeditと入力し、レジストリエディタを起動する。 2 レジストリの HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Google\Chrome\Extensions の下にmfhcmdonhekjhfbjmeacdjbhlfgpjabp(このページのアドレスにある拡張機能のIDです)があればそれを消す。

Чтобы расширение автоматически не добавлялось в новые профиля гугл хром браузера, нужно удалить ключ реестра HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Google\Chrome\Extensions\mfhcmdonhekjhfbjmeacdjbhlfgpjabp

I am shocked by at least the fact that this malware is still in the Official Google store! They clearly DO NOT DO their research, or care about the customers that got really hurt! This plugin also gets installed without a permission (I am a programmer for 20+ years, I know what I am talking about). Made by Lavasoft malware really bad folks. Even after uninstalling all the malware installed by their product Web Companion and cleaning the registry and all the other safe steps (without involving other "malware cleaning helpers"), this plugin "sticks" to Chrome and re-immerges again and again in Chrome with brute force. Shame on this browser support overlooking this again and again. This needs to be escalated to the management ASAP. Chrome, DO YOR RESEARCH please!

Скачал uTorrent, во время установки убрал все галочки, без знания английского языка нажал Decline, вроде как всё норм "встало", и даже поставил торрент на загрузку. Проходит 5 минут и во время просмотра видика на YouTube у меня крашится Chrome. И вот именно так я стал обладателем это чудесного расширения.
