What does this collection do?

This collection finds all fake(pretending to be someone else) or malicious Chrome apps and extensions published in Chrome Webstore. It is designed to be set up as a Qodex Monitor to periodically scan all the Chrome apps and extensions for misrepresenting its value and features.

This collection needs your application name to search for all the similar apps or extensions in the Chrome Webstore and then uses keywords related to your app to identify a fake or malicious application.
