    Chrome 35 on Windows 7 x64 has a plugin that is unknown

    uknown plugin chrome

    I run MalwareBytes Anti-Malware in resident mode, and I did a full scan with MS Security Essentials (which does not run resident), nothing came up.

    Is it normal to have an unknown plugin on Chrome? If not, how do I go about detecting which file is responsible for this plugin?

    Type chrome://plugins/ in the address bar and see if you can find anything that remotely resembles something that says Unknown then disable it. Strangely named plugins may also apply.

    No it is not usual to have a Unknown plug-in in Chrome. Open chrome://plugins and on the top right side of the page there should be a button for Details. Click on it and you will see the location where the plug-ins are stored.

    As default the location of the plugins is C:\Users\"User Name"\AppData\Local\Google\...

    Try Linkification

    enter image description here

    Linkification is inspired by the Firefox extension of the same name. It parses plain-text links on webpages and replaces them with actual hyperlinks. It is based on the 'Linkfy' bookmarklet.
