VULNERABILITY DETAILS
AVG's Web TuneUp chrome app has just auto-installed on my p.c., I noticed reports from Google saying that it would not be possible for this Chrome app to auto install any more and I figured I'd let you know. The app will also not allow me to uninstall it any more.

VERSION
Chrome Version: [49.0.26.23.87 m] + [stable]
Operating System: [Windows 7,Service Pack 1]

Hi, looks like another software installed the extension in your Chrome profile. You can try running Chrome Cleanup Tool and see if the issue goes away: https://www.google.com/chrome/cleanup-tool/

Since there isn't a vulnerability here I'm dropping security related labels from the bug.
