SimpleAssist Malware LifeSync Quick-Tip: Chrome "Developer Mode Warning" Malware

SimpleAssist QuickShield Tip: "Disable Developer Mode Extensions" popup in Chrome Browser


Is #Chrome popping up and asking you to disable developer mode #extensions? I've noticed this happening as a result of a pesky little piece of #malware which has been popping up lately, and is even slipping by the malware scanners (in at least two of my experiences). 
1A: Disguised as a legitimate extension 

This is a persistent bugger... under SETTINGS, EXTENSIONS in Chrome, you'll find the this extension typically disguised as a coupon "helper" or shopping toolbar (SEE Image 1A, above). It is uniquely defined by its inability to be deleted (after deleting, it pops back up when after starting Chrome), in addition to the "Disable Developer Mode Extensions?" popup upon starting Chrome. (Note: This is a legitimate warning, and If prompted,you should allow Chrome to Disable developer extensions). Not sure? Contact me at bit.ly/1FqyUs3 for more information or a free consultation.
