Chrome - Data stealing extensions
More than 100 data-stealing extensions have been found in the Chrome app/extension store. They are accessing clipboards, log in details, tracking keyboard entries, and taking screenshots. They have been downloaded 32 million times. They were designed to avoid detection by antivirus programs. By now they have all hopefully been removed from the Chrome Web Store.
You should check to see if you have installed any of these.

Next, click the Chrome menu (three dots), then More Tools, then Extensions. You will now see any extensions that you have added. Next, to check the extension, click the details button, then look in the address bar to see if the ID at the end of the address is on the list you have open. Delete any extension that is on the list.
