Finally got rid of "captchasave" malware on my phone.

[OAITW r.2.0]

It was in my Google Browser, Had to remove captchasave from "trusted" networks. Was getting upwards of 50 notifications a day. Now, no more. Sweet.

1. I wouldn't have been happy

About 50 notifications a day either. Well done.

2. Google does NOT check stuff in their store.

Clicks above EVERYTHING.

More malicious extensions in Chrome Web Store

Mind you: just because these extensions monetized by redirecting search pages two years ago, it doesn’t mean that they still limit themselves to it now. There are way more dangerous things one can do with the power to inject arbitrary JavaScript code into each and every website.


What's going on.


Google doesn't check chrome extensions for malware. Matter of fact the author says that he has never heard about the “Report abuse” link in Chrome Web Store producing any result

See the list at the above URL for 18 known bad extensions.

3. Thank you for sharing this fix, OAITW.r.2.0

It worked like a charm. I was getting a ton of annoying notifications that looked like spam.
