If you experience the NETWORK_FAILED message, here is a way to determine whether the problem is related to the "epicunitscan.info" malware. Please post your results here to help developers understand the issue.
1. Open chrome://net-internals/#events in your browser to start recording network traffic.
2. In a new tab, open the following link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom or open Chrome Web Store and navigate to AdBlock manually. Try installing it. Alternatively, you can try installing any other extension that gives you the same error.
3. Go back to the first tab with chrome://net-internals/#events.
4. Export your network event log into a text file using the Export menu item. See http://dev.chromium.org/for-testers/providing-network-details for detailed instructions. Enter a short description of the problem into the textbox (e.g., "NETWORK_FAILURE error when trying to install AdBlock."). It is okay to strip private information for troubleshooting this particular problem.
5. Either post the log on this thread as attachment, or open it in your favorite text editor and look for the network connection your browser tried to make when downloading AdBlock. Search for the string "service/update2/crx", or the ID string of the Extension, which is gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom for AdBlock. You should see something like
"url":"https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx..."
or
":host: clients2.google.com",":method: GET",":path: /service/update2/crx?..."
If you see https://epicunitscan.info instead of https://clients2.google.com, that means network traffic is hijacked by malware on your computer. Please post on this thread in either case to provide us with valuable information. Thank you.
