Remove Plugins Button

Plugins Button is a malicious extension made for Google Chrome (this kind of extensions is called Rogue.ForcedExtension in the IT world). This extension could hijack your default search engine, show unexpected pop-up ads and/or insert publicity in every website you visit.

Plugins Button is forced upon the user as a new extension by a malicious JavaScript code. Usually your browser will be directed towards keygens or porn websites.

The malicious JavaScript code acts in a clever way by showing a dialogue box asking if you wish to install an extension “Add Extension to Leaver”. When you click on “Cancel“, a new pop-up will be showed asking if you wish to “Block this page from showing further dialogue boxes”. Of course this message might make you think that it’s a legitimate Chrome window, therefore you confidently click on OK. Once this is done your browser will go on full screen mode to install Plugins Button.

If you’re infected you might experience one or more of the following:

• advertising banners inserted in every website you visit
• text being converted into links directly in the content you’re reading online
• browser’s pop-ups offering fake updates and even fake software
• hijacking of your default homepage and default search engine
• redirection and tracking of your searches

The guide presented below will help you remove Plugins Button.
