Mystery flash of code displayed on page load

I have a screen full of code that displays for about half a second on loading some pages in chrome.

I managed to grab a screenshot of it. I think this one is from a google search for the London tube map.

Code generated on page load using chrome

I have disabled chrome extensions and antivirus but it still appears.

Does anyone know what this is?

In this particular instance the code is generated by Bitdefender Traffic Light extension. If the antivirus is installed, the extension seems to be enabled without being displayed in Chrome's list of extensions.

Disabling the antivirus doesn't seem to disable the extension. But you can clearly see it is activated in a google search as each link has a specific icon next to it.trafficlight icon

Other extensions might do a similar thing, but in the lower-left part of the screenshot, the code is:

fraud_link = "http://trafficlight.bitdefender.com/info?url={URL}&language=en_US";

Which makes it obvious this extention is causing the code to be displayed.
