    Hello,

    I have installed a Chrome extension to remove cache, cookies, etc when I start Chrome. Is there a way to verify if this Chrome extension is safe? Is there any scan I can run?


    Thanks.

    Hi DT. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 9 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

    Chrome scans all of these as they're installed and won't let a bad extension install.

    Did you check in Chrome's Settings to see if the automated cache clearing is set and works satisfactorily for you first?

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
