Google Chrome Hijacked with TextSrv Ads (double underlined hyperlinks)
July 16th, 2011
Recently I’ve realized that my Chrome browser got hijacked with TextSrv Ads and it’s displaying hyperlinked keywords (double underlined green hyperlinks) that lead to different advertising sites.
I wasn’t surprised that neither AVG or Kaspersky were able to catch this issue, but to see that also MalwareBytes did not detect any problems was somewhat troubling and unexpected.
Anyhow, after a while poking around I’ve found the fix.
Somehow, while I was installing other Chrome Extensions, one called ‘Media Plugin – Version: 2.0′ got through and installed on my system.
Here is a screenshot:
In your Chrome browser go to: chrome://extensions/
And uninstall it, this worked for me.
