Kaspersky detected this in Google Chrome. Is this a false positive? When I go to that folder, that extension isn't there.
That's why, regardless our primary anti-malware solution of choice, we should always have a secondary scanner on hand for "on-demand" scanning. I generally recommend Malwarebytes for that.
You don't have to do anything. Kaspersky's JavaScript scanner detected adware; i.e. analytics.js, in Chrome's disk cache area, blocked it from executing, and deleted it.
Hmm, that's why I'd say: "when using Chrome go for policy templates so you can manage which extensions are allowed to install and which don't." https://www.ghacks.net/2015/04/01/how-to-install-chrome-policy-templates-on-windows-machines/ https://dl.google.com/dl/edgedl/chrome/policy/policy_templates.zip You'll save a lot of headaches.
An attacker can likewise compromise a web site and embed malicious javascript code. Hence the need to use an AV solution with a JavaScript scanner coupled with SSL protocol scanning to detect crap like this.
The ID ...\Extensions\jpaglkhbmbmhlnpnehlffkgaaapoicnk\... is an indicator for this extension: Video Downloader professional - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-downloader-professi/jpaglkhbmbmhlnpnehlffkgaaapoicnk Is this extension currently installed? Some "reviews":
I rather be protected by Chrome's policies than not. And everyone should. Despite you say it has nothing to do with Chrome which I believe you're wrong but that's another story.
