Q305: I can't uninstall Tampermonkey on Chrome. What should I do?

A305 Chrome has a "feature" that allows third-party software (that has nothing to do with Tampermonkey) to install extensions in the Chrome browser. There are legitimate use cases such as a desktop software that needs an extension to be installed, but malware can also make use of this.

Therefore, please check the settings file and/or the Windows registry keys and remove any unwanted entries.

If Tampermonkey appears again, the problematic software is still on your PC!

Windows users, please open the registry editor and check these two registry keys:

The ID of Tampermonkey is dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo, further official IDs can be found here.

Important: You should check your system for malware and viruses.
