Lifehacker just posted an article about nefarious third-party extensions for the Chrome (and by way of relation, Opera*) web browser. Any time you open, install, execute, etc. a file, an extension, or program (.exe for Windows and .dmg for Mac), you run the risk of downloading a virus! While some of these may seem legit, you should always make sure you check that they are from a reliable source or a reliable maker or have many positive reviews (which can include asking your friends and colleagues).

Don't feel embarrassed if you mistakenly downloaded and opened one of the following extensions. 1.7 million users have apparently already done so. ACT NOW!

If you are one of these uses, immediately remove it from your computer and run a anti-virus program!

Remove these Chrome extensions NOW:
