So i redwonloaded chrome and when i turned on sync the extensions came on , one of which was adblock. it opened a page to download adblock360 and i downloaded it. Mid installation i noticed it was asking for a lot of permissions so i googled adblock360 and the following is what came up :-
What is AdBlock 360? AdBlock 360 is a fake ad blocker extension that can install malware on your computer. It's available for download in the Chrome Web Store and even has an official-looking website.5 Jan 2025.
all the search results are similar to the one above.
i cancelled the installtion and now i'm wondering if i downloaded a software i shouldn't have. since the software belongs to adblock which i've used and trusted for years, i had to make a post looking for answers here. Thoughts?
