C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts has known IP addresses that your system will use instead of resolving them with a DNS. I do not think any google hostname belongs to this file. This might have been put there by the malware to hijack connections to google, and this is exactly why you were not able to download the extension. I am glad you found a way to clean up this malware, and eventually managed to install the extension.

Exact, Malware Bytes remove the malware, but we need to clean the host file manually to load extension, hope this post help other pepole. Regards |
