Comment on We busted a fake Chrome extension that was trying to steal data

Comments

This is a serious issue with Chrome Store. Google doesn't properly warn users that the store is not premoderated and can contain malware. Instead, they have made a colourful positively looking site without necessary warnings.

Neither does download.com. Maybe what we need is a good A/V designed around chrome and firefox et al.
