ua-parser-js has been hijacked and installs malware on your computer. Check it’s npm page.
fix dependency to version 0.7.28 as later versions are dangerous.

@quaspar Thanks for the report. I use 0.7.28 and never was updated to 0.7.29.

"ua-parser-js": "^0.7.28"

But the carret means you will get 0.7.29 if you update now. Change to 0.7.28 (without carret).

Thanks for pointing this out, you are right. I will update and upload new version soon.

Maybe this should be locked to the latest patch version that came out? 0.7.30.
