Does anyone else get a "webpage screenshot - this extension has been automatically disabled" pop up every time they start chrome on OSX?

I get that it's now spyware, but just remove the extension already, not just disabling it each time. It doesn't show in chrome://extensions either.



I found a number of threads about this, many in the Google Support forums. The best solution I could find is:

    * Disconnect your Google profile from Chrome.
    * Close Chrome
    * Re-open Chrome
    * View chrome:extensions. You should see it there. You can delete it.
    * Reconnect your Google profile
Let me know if that works, and I'll try to update our docs on it.


You may have something installed on your computer which keeps on reinstalling it into Chrome.


consider running adware medic to attempt to remove it.
