The Quick Auto Refresh Chrome Extension is a suspicious add-on that is only available for the Chrome Web browser. It is offered by snyangqi.com – a suspicious domain that users are likely to come across if they browse low-quality websites that display a significant number of ads. Apart from this website, the Quick Auto Refresh Chrome Extension also may be found on the official Chrome Store page, but it is probably a matter of time before it is removed from there. We are of the opinion that it is bound to be removed because the Quick Auto Refresh Chrome Extension may not offer anything useful and, instead, users who install it might end up experiencing weird side-effects.
It is likely that users who opt to install the Quick Auto Refresh Chrome Extension may end up seeing unwanted advertisements whenever they use Google Chrome. While these ads are not unsafe, it is possible that they may promote shady offers and Web destinations – this is why the advice is to skip suspicious ads, which might have been brought to you by a dubious browser add-on. Network analysis shows that the Quick Auto Refresh Chrome Extension attempts to connect go2searching.com/qarctrl.php regularly to receive instructions on what ads to displays and actions to carry out. While this can't be used for harmful purposes, it makes it clear that the purpose of this add-on is to function as adware.
It is strongly recommended to avoid installing suspicious browser extensions, especially if they were offered by a shady page like Snyangqi.com. If the Quick Auto Refresh Chrome Extension is already running on your PC, then we advise you to take care of its removal either via the Chrome's settings or by using a suitable PC security tool.
