Is malicious and chrome has blocked it

Browser extensions can add new functionality to help you get more done in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and other Chromium-based web browsers but they can also be used as a means to take over your PC or even to infect it with malware.As reported by BleepingComputer, a new botnet called Cloud9 has been discovered by security researchers at Zimperium. The botnet uses malicious extensions to log keystrokes, steal passwords, inject ads and infect vulnerable computers with malware.

This is because Adobe officially ended support for its once ubiquitous Flash Player back in January 2021. At that time, the company behind Photoshop and some of the other best photo editing software recommended that users uninstall Flash Player on their devices to avoid falling victim to fake updates like these.Even though Adobe Flash Player has since been discontinued, fake websites still

Phone number, and PC Matic blocks any website that shows a phone number inside a pop-up window unless it's a allowlisted phone number from a legitimate company. While the page is blocked the user is redirected to a safe webpage with information about the scam. Trojans, Viruses & Worms PC Matic prevents all three types of attacks by utilizing our global allowlist and a default-deny approach. Before a virus or worm can execute and begin replicating, PC Matic sees it as an unknown and blocks the attempt. Trojans are also blocked as unknown before execution because we have never seen that file; even if they attempt to masquerade under legitimate names like Microsoft.
