I had installed for sometime the MSGboy extension on google chrome cause i thought it was a cool news aggregator. Not long after, I started seeing unwanted buzzdock ads even though I have both adblock plus and adblock installed.
People online where saying something about uninstalling a Yontoo software, only I didn't have it. Guess what. Uninstalling MSgboy solved my problem.
RIP Msgboy RIP in the pile of spam and malware.
Adios
Update: From the comment by Julien it seems that Msgboy do not intentionally show ads. Hoewever the ads on google chrome searches disappeared when I uninstalled Msgboy. Some sort of exploit maybe? I do not know. And unfortunately I do not have the technical knowledge to dig into Msgboy source code.
Update2: So I re-installed msgboy and strangely the ads did not return. So I probably owe an apology to Julien, still the question remains how did buzzdock ads landed on my pc and disappeared after uninstalling msgboy app, but did not appear after re-installing it?
