Rogue Chrome Extensions

[Glingfram]

Hi guys, I have a Chrome extension that re-installs itself every time I remove it. It does the usual nonsense of popping up adverts, opening new tabs to advertising pages, and converts certain words like 'win' to links to - you guessed it - advertising pages.

Is there any way I can stop these damn things from being installed?
And have you found a solid way to remove them permanently?

This one's called BiggdEal. But I've seen a good couple of these things in other people's extensions too.

Thanks!

Malwarebytes gets rid of all that crap for me.

Do you use the free or Premium version?

Free version is fine - doing a scan with malwarebytes in safe mode might make removal easier too.

Also check out Hitman Pro its pretty good at removing the stubborn junk that Malwarebytes cant remove.
