Hi,
It seems like I fell victim to a phishing attack. After typing in the address for my intended site, I was redirected to the securybrowser website
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/privacy-tools-by-securybr/kjincgipkjkimkcmolmajgcfpdjbckgc?utm_source=chrome-remove-extension-dialog
which showed 2 out of 3 steps completed and asked me to finish installing before I could proceed to my intended website. I was in a hurry, and the website looked similar to my intended destination so I installed the extension.
The website then prompted me to install the Browser Checkup for Chrome from getwebdoctor,
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/browser-checkup-for-chrom/okjdbeegldeilceaflghgfdemobmfhbd?hl=en-US
, and I installed it. I realized that this was malware and uninstalled the extensions right away. I've found posts on this forum for securybrower and ran Malwarebytes as the first post suggests and found no malware. I have a mac so I don't know how much the second post applies to me. I've also clear my Chrome cache. Should I install a fresh copy of Chrome as the second post suggests? Are there other steps I should take?
