Does deleting or disinfecting the malicious object cause the extension not to function properly?

Not sure what Kaspersky deleted.
If it only deletes
assets/thirdparties/someonewhocares.org/hosts/hosts, it should work fine, unless you select that filter list, in which case it won't load obviously.gorhill commentedon May 15, 2015
Actually, if it's on Chrome, you will have issues as Chrome will consider that the extension package has been tampered with and will flag it as such in the Extensions page. Firefox I am not sure, but they are also migrating soon to signed packages.

Chrome didn't flag it (yet) in the extensions page, and i am not really using this filter, but it is actually a bit scary when Kaspersky flags it, given their reputation and your user base type (people who care about privacy and security)
Thank you for you work :-)
