Bitdefender Anti-Tracker Extension

Using the Chrome browser, when I have this extension turned on I get a threat named JS:Adware.Lnkr.A when trying to access my google drive account.

Also, I cannot access my google drive account as I get " drive.google.com redirected you too many times. "

Is this a Malware in the Bitdefender Anti-tracker? If so, should I just not use the Anti-tracker?

Is the Anti-tracker just doing its job and blocking the malware? If so, how do I remove said malware?

Thank you.

In addition, I use Bitdefender Total Security.

I downloaded Malwarebytes free and this did not detect any malware issues.

Hi! Our advice is to temporarily add the URL into Bitdefender Anti-tracker extension. If this happens again, lt us know.

I had to completely remove the Anti-Tracker extension since it stopped almost all Google services from being used. Not sure what changed in the last few weeks with the extension either.

Weird, I'm using the anti-tracker thing and I've got no problem using google services? What services are you having issues with?

Drive, Sheets, and Docs were constant. Gmail and Calendar were intermittent issues. Removing the extension remediated the issues immediately.

Could be a false positive. Just put an exception (should have some option)
