Memory Game Chrome Extension

Posted: April 4, 2018

The Memory Game Chrome Extension is meant to provide users with access to a fun and entertaining game, which also can help enhance their brain's ability to memorize things. However, there are several suspicious things about this add-on, the biggest of which is its official website found at hxxp://31up1802df.xyz/. The page is blank, but it is listed as the primary website on the extension's Google Chrome page. However, domain names like these are often associated with hoaxes or other online fraudulent schemes, and any software linked to them should be approached with caution. The second suspicious thing is the requirements, which the Memory Game makes to be installed – users must give the add-on permission to read and change data on all opened websites. While this is unsafe, it might be used to insert advertising content in opened Web pages.

Even if these suspicious things don't bother you, you should still not opt to install the Memory Game Chrome Extension since you do not need to install a browser add-on to access the limited content that this extension claims to provide. There are thousands of free online browser games, which can keep you occupied for hours, and they can be accessed via a quick Web search.

If you've installed the Memory Game Chrome Extension and suspect that this add-on might be injecting advertisements in your Web browsing sessions, then we advise you to take the required steps to ensure its full removal. Since this program is not unsafe, you can take care of its removal manually or with the help of trustworthy PC security software.
