Bookmarks Button is a malicious extension made for Google Chrome. This extension could potentially hijack your default search engine, show unexpected pop-up ads and/or insert publicity in every website you visit.
Bookmarks Button is forced upon the user as a new extension by a malicious JavaScript code. Usually your browser will be directed towards keygens or porn websites.
The malicious JavaScript code acts in a clever way by showing a dialogue box asking if you wish to install an extension “Add Extension to Leaver”. When you click on “Cancel“, a new pop-up will be showed asking if you wish to “Block this page from showing further dialogue boxes”. Of course this message might make you think that it’s a legitimate Chrome window, therefore you confidently click on OK. Once this is done your browser will go on full screen mode to install Bookmarks Button.
Removing Bookmarks Button is not an easy task because when searching on the net for a potential solution, you put yourself at danger of ending up in a fake disinfection website that will attempt to make you buy a program that won’t work at all. Our guide in the other hand uses 100% free software only!
