2	Tracking	critical	js/bg_img.js (line 48)	A daily beacon fires to `http://api.gethefile.com/api2/active_bg` (plain HTTP, no TLS) carrying a persistent unique user ID (`uid`), hardcoded extension UUID (`gid`), campaign ID (`c`), version, and date. This constit…	1.0.0.5
3	Tracking	high	js/background.js (line 45)	After inferring the user's preferred search engine from history, the extension stores that result as a cookie on `https://find-it.pro/` for one year. Because this cookie belongs to the remote site, it can be sent with…	1.0.0.6
4	Tracking	high	js/bg_img.js (line 102)	On first run the extension generates a 32-character alphanumeric random string and persists it in `chrome.storage.local` under key `uid44`. This persistent unique identifier is included in every subsequent daily beaco…	1.0.0.5
5	Unauthorized Data Collection	high	js/background.js (line 83)	The extension reads up to 10,000 history records from the past 14 days and classifies which search engine the user uses most. That is a broad collection of browsing-history data unrelated to a minimal search override,…	1.0.0.6
6	Unauthorized Data Collection	high	js/background.js (line 87)	The extension performs a bulk retrieval of up to 10,000 browser history entries spanning the last 14 days using an empty-string query (matching all URLs). While it ostensibly uses this only to detect the user's most-u…	1.0.0.5
7	Unauthorized Data Collection	high	js/background.js (line 45)	After scanning the user's 14-day browsing history, the detected preferred search engine is written into a 1-year cookie on `find-it.pro`. This links the user's behavioral history data to their find-it.pro tracking pro…	1.0.0.5

was installed from a trojan virus, i suggest you run a full antivirus scan if this shows up on your computer and make sure the RDP port is closed in your routing because it tries to brute force in from an external ip
