I've seen where an AV removes it but because of sync it just comes back on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephKing 3 Posted August 20, 2022 Author Share Posted August 20, 2022 I mean, can ESET audit your extensions? I don't have something suspicious. It would be great to have a tool that could check browser add-ons. New_Style_xd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephKing 3 Posted August 20, 2022 Author Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) Is there an article about it? I'd like to better understand it; alert, category, how its detected (in browser, on file system.) I'm interested to know how they're handled. I see MS Store packages in my ESET logs, I'm gonna scan the Chrome extension directory to get a better idea. Maybe there's a YT video demo w/ extension detections.
