    Not that I ever needed it or relied on it, but I used to have the Webutation extension installed on my Google Chrome browser from a long time ago and never thought much about it since. Today I noticed a " ! " on my Chrome menu button and checked out my extensions to see this warning:

    WebutationExtension_Malware.png

    Needless to say, it is completely removed now.
