*Notes
- These instructions are from Google Support's article called "Install and manage extensions."
- You may also want to run a virus scan before and/or after removing the extensions that you believe to be malicious.
- If you are using a UWL-owned computer, then use the pre-installed software called "Cisco AMP" to run a scan.
- If you are using a personal computer, then use your own antivirus/malware software or checkout our website for more information about virus/malware software: https://www.uwlax.edu/its/client-services-and-support/antivirus-malware-information/.
