      Hello, I had a version of Videostream installed. Today I noticed when searching google that the top 4 results were ads, despite having ublock origin, every other search result (literally every other) was also an advert link.

      I first thought ublock origin wasn't working, so set about investigating. 1 hour later after looking for malware via malwarebytes etc and other trial and error I finally found the culprit... you guessed it the Chrome Videostream extension was injecting ads into pages.

      I selectively disabled each extension one by one to find this and I could reliably disable Videostream and the ads went away. So my next question is did you guys knowingly do this or have you been breached?

        One of them has an official saeekhandekar licence from IDN Poker and Sbopoker, two online poker site providers.
