Edited Chrome Extension - chrome thinks it is malware
Turns out that I had to make a copy of the extension to an external directory, then delete the existing one.
From there, I followed the instructions here: https://superuser.com/questions/247651/how-does-one-install-an-extension-for-chrome-browser-from-the-local-file-system.
Text for the lazy:
Navigate to chrome://extensions.
Expand the developer dropdown menu and click "Load Unpacked Extension".
Navigate to local folder. Assuming there are no errors, the extension should load into your browser.

I recently edited one of my extensions' css and HTML files to provide myself with a better experience.
However, When I went to enable the extension, a line right below the extension said "This extension may have been corrupted by malware.", and will not allow me to enable the extension itself.
How can I enable this extension?
Thanks
UPDATE:
Google's help page: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/187443?hl=en.
It says to visit the extension page and click "repair" by the extension, but no such option appears for me.
