Corrupted Extension

The latest version of Kaspersky on Windows is causing a corruption issue with Dux-Soup. By adding Dux-Soup to the antivirus exclusions, you can prevent this from happening.

0. Find where Chrome stores the extension

Open a new tab in Chrome and go to:

chrome://version  

Find the Profile Path and make a note of it.

1. Open Kaspersky

Open the Kaspersky application.

2. Open Settings

Click the cogwheel icon to open the Settings.

3. Go to AMSI Protection.

Open Security Settings, then select AMSI Protection.

In the Script scanner section, select the Scan scripts using Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) check box.

4. Open the Exclusion Manager

Click Manage Exclusions.

Add the following folder path. Make sure it matches the Profile Path you noted in step 0 - simply copy, paste, and edit it before clicking Add:

[YOUR-PROFILE-PATH]\Extensions\ppdakpfeaodfophjplfdedpcodkdkbal 

IMPORTANT: The folder must exactly match your Profile Path, appended with:

Extensions\ppdakpfeaodfophjplfdedpcodkdkbal  

5. Confirm the dialogs

Approve any prompts asking whether you want to make changes.

6. Close Kaspersky windows

(Optional, but tidies things up.)

7. Reinstall the Dux-Soup extension

If the current installation is corrupted, remove it from:

chrome://extensions  

Then reinstall it from the Chrome Web Store:
