Rescroller Extension is a suspicious browser extension categorized as a potentially unwanted program, or PUP. Users usually get it from http://jinlun007.com/cixv/?&from=media, which might appear as a pop-up. Also, it used to be available at the Chrome Web Store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dmlhkniepcckhimnledfjmhkjomacddn). No matter how this Google Chrome extension has infiltrated your computer and affected your web browser, you should remove it as soon as possible even though it promises to make it possible to “browse the internet without letting search providers track your history.” It is because it is not fully trustworthy software. Potentially unwanted applications do not work as harmful malware, but they might still perform undesirable activities on users’ computers, so we do not recommend keeping them active. If it is still hard for you to make up your mind, you should read the rest of this report carefully and only then make the final decision. We hope that you decide to remove Rescroller Extension. If so, feel free to use the removal guide prepared by our specialists (you will find it right below this article). Read more »

Do you see more advertisements than usual?

This scam can also be used to spread S-N-A 1.0.0 and, potentially, other unreliable extensions. Have you scanned your operating system already? That is important to do because you want to know what is going on and which threats you need to delete. In this report, we focus on the removal of Video Control Addon.
