LastPass Removal Guide

LastPass is an untrustworthy extension that uses the name of the legitimate application. It used to be available for download on the official Chrome Web Store, and there were, unfortunately, thousands of users who downloaded and installed it. Luckily, the fake download page for LastPass is down at the time of writing and is, probably, not going to be launched again; however, we still believe that there are users who downloaded the extension previously and still have it installed on their systems. We believe that it would be clever to remove the extension and download the legitimate application LastPass from its official website lastpass.com. If you get it from there, you will be sure that you really have a legitimate application for managing your passwords.

Actually, the majority of users who downloaded and installed the extension from the fake page are inexperienced users because more experienced people should immediately notice that the fake extension is said to be developed by AdGetBlock, which is very suspicious because the legitimate LastPass application is originally developed by “lastpass.com.” As you can see, you must download software from such sources as the Chrome Web Store very carefully as well because undesirable software might be available for download there too. It would be very clever to find out more information on the web about the program you are going to install before you really allow it to enter your PC. On top of that, security specialists highly recommend that you install a security tool on the system. As long as you keep it there, undesirable software will not manage to enter the system.

Researchers at 411-spyware.com believe that the page at Chrome Web Store promoting the fake LastPass extension was created in order to increase the traffic rate of appforchrome.com because users were immediately taken to this website after they clicked on the Install button at the Chrome Web Store. This website is still working these days, so we have checked it. It has been observed that it is not that easy to find the Download button on it. If a user finds it and clicks on it, he/she is immediately taken to appforchrome.com/download.php?id=75 containing three commercial advertisements. It is not the best decision to click on these ads either because they take to the website promoting Easy Doc Merge or another potentially unwanted program created by Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc (responsible for a bunch of questionable applications). As the page at the Chrome Web Store does not work anymore, it is not very likely that many users will enter appforchrome.com and thus cause harm to their PCs; however, those users who were taken to this website at the time when the page promoting fake LastPass was still working might have allowed additional undesirable software to sneak onto their PCs. In order to find out if they are really installed, scan your computer with the diagnostic scanner after you eliminate the fake LastPass extension from your computer.

Believe us; there are thousands of different programs that pretend to be good, but the truth is that they are completely unreliable. Therefore, security specialists working at 411-spyware.com highly recommend that you install a security tool on the system. Also, it is very important to install only those programs that you know are 100% reliable, and also stay away from various file-sharing and torrent websites in the future. Believe us; these websites are not trustworthy sources at all.

Fortunately, browser extensions can be erased from the system rather easily. All you need to do is to go to the extensions manager and delete them from there. Of course, it might be quite hard for you to erase the LastPass extension manually if you have never done that before. Therefore, we have prepared the manual removal instructions for you. You will find them below; however, if, for any reason, these instructions do not work for you at all, you should scan your computer with an automatic scanner, such as SpyHunter. Its free version can be downloaded from our webpage (find and click on the Download button).
