Hello there.  Right after I install Avira Password Manager for Chrome from the official store it is labelled normal (installed from store) but when I restart Chrome it shows as "Installed by third party". As it is an sensitive extension I found it fishy and disabled it. Is it normal or I have a malware that replaces the extension after restart? With some other forks of Chromium I tried it always shows as "installed by official store".

Just want to know if it's supposed to be like this or I got a malware since it's an important extension to be ran from a third party installation. Thanks

  Thanks for answering pascha. I thought this was the right place to ask for support, I will use email or chat with my premium customer id next time. I fixed it by removing unwanted extensions ID at registry path  HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Google\Chrome\Extension
