| Re: Why have I received extension installation which I never conducted? | caver_tim | 8/13/12 2:45 AM | first thing to worry about is can you uninstall them? go to the extensions page and uninstall them. probably no specific security flaw as such in chrome. Something's got installed. who knows what you clicked on to get them... |

| Re: Why have I received extension installation which I never conducted? | LuringTJHooker | 8/13/12 12:38 PM | I already removed them, the question is how did it get there without my permission. I just opened google and it said both those extensions were successfully installed. And my homepage isn't a wesite its a blank tab. This is a security flaw because I |
| Re: Why have I received extension installation which I never conducted? | Hamilton_Justen | 8/15/12 5:45 PM | I also came across this small notification on both my Mac and PC and on the same day (Aug. 15th, 2012). I've already uninstalled them and I'm trying to figure out the sites that I went to on both my Mac and PC. Could be a rare security breach that in |

| Re: Why have I received extension installation which I never conducted? | azhannnnnnnnnnnnn | 8/24/12 2:50 PM | How did you remove Savings Slider? |
| Re: Why have I received extension installation which I never conducted? | azhannnnnnnnnnnnn | 8/24/12 2:53 PM | Never mind, I found it in Extensions and removed it. Does anyone know what the hell it is and what collateral damage it may have done? Is it a trojan? |

| Re: Why have I received extension installation which I never conducted? | beta0.9 | 10/1/12 6:59 AM | If you are running Chrome and syncing on both machines, extensions installed on one will be installed across all synced machines. I found "Domain Error Assistant" and "Savings Slider" and my default search hijacked to Yahoo on 5 different computers. |

| Re: Why have I received extension installation which I never conducted? | Samark | 10/5/12 7:59 PM | Same thing happened to me but I don't think it has ANYTHING to do with VUZE. I don't have and never had downloaded and or installed vuze on this computer. I just deleted both by going to settings-extensions-delete |
| Re: Why have I received extension installation which I never conducted? | Danif2212 | 10/6/12 2:05 PM | It did come from VUZE i can guarantee you that. I did the same thing u did: deleted both by going to settings-extensions-delete. but the page still pops up when i open a browser. ANYONE KNOW HOW TO COMPLETELY REMOVE THIS PROGRAM?? |
| Re: Why have I received extension installation which I never conducted? | qwerrk | 10/12/12 3:57 PM | Well mine came courtesy of YouTubeDownloader freeware via a CNET link. It asked at the end of the install to confirm...it was ambiguous what I was answering but I knew immediately I'd had a number pulled on me when my search engine became Yahoo drive |
| Re: Why have I received extension installation which I never conducted? | lajarre | 11/6/12 10:46 AM | Same thing here (and in Firefox too) after upgrading Vuze to its latest version 4.8.0.0 on OS X 10.8.2 Realized it because all tabs pointing to localhost openened on http://api.mybrowserbar.com/... when restarting Chrome. **The real question is: is i |
| Re: Why have I received extension installation which I never conducted? | Erriko | 11/6/12 5:45 PM | My question is the same. Is it dangerous? Can we block these things from happening?

| Re: Why have I received extension installation which I never conducted? | Jerricho | 11/10/12 4:00 AM | The proof it comes from Vuze : http://vuze.mybrowserbar.com/privacy_mac.html |
| Re: Why have I received extension installation which I never conducted? | lebluuz | 11/11/12 11:08 AM | Good post! Yea it seems like it came from Vuze. Removing it is quite simple, click on the trash icon and it will be removed. I'm currently using the latest Chrome browser, and now it's gone from my browser. Good topic! |
| Re: Why have I received extension installation which I never conducted? | Kieran McMillan | 11/23/12 12:45 AM | How can we be sure it is completely removed? I did some searches on Google and read some articles that suggest the http://api.mybrowserbar.com is malware and could be monitoring password keystrokes... I'm running os x. Any help with this is much appreciated |
