Problem With Bitdefender Quickscan

I run Win 8.1. My browser (Chrome), so slow lately, keeps showing this notification "extension bitdefender quickscan was automatically removed" even though I press the confirmation button each time and I don't even remember installing it in the first place!!

Is it a virus or a malware? My AV doesn't show anything after scanning! How can I remove it completely once and for all?

  • I installed BitDefender Quickscan on Chrome and upgraded to Win10 quite a while ago. I am now getting the same notification and cannot figure out how to remove it. I've checked the list of Chrome Extensions and BitDefender is not showing up there...

  • I didn't install it and I also checked in chrome extensions list and didn't find it. I even searched for the extension DLL file on my entire computer but couldn't find it either, yet it still appears each time I open chrome for the first time after starting PC!! It's so annoying and I'm afraid it might be a bug or a malware.
