All browser vendors release security updates and worry about the security of their users. But if you download any browser add-on, then software companies are not able to guarantee that your system will not be infected. Internet swindler can use the add-on as it were a gate to your system. Of course there is a sure way out from this situation: use extensions from well-known and reliable vendors only. But is not 100% guard from online delinquents and computer threats. I advise not to install browser extensions at all.
It is important to understand that every installed extension has the allowance to see your private information that you enter when complete a form on the web. The data, including your phone number, your first and second names, electronic mail address, etc. Can be sold to some advertising companies. Be provident using any extensions and do not install them, if you have not a real need in it.
Mediatracking.us, as a promotional extension, is more perilous, because there is no assurance that the popping-up advertising information is true and that the web address that states in the ad is safe. If you are eager to use Mediatracking.us or any other browser extension that demonstrates you special offers then you should be ready that it can deceive you.

This way of removal will let you to delete all the undesired browser add-ons and ads will not exasperate you any more. But sometimes, using this technique users notice that the PUP returns to the browser and they need to perform any other techniques to uninstall it.
Nevertheless removal way that tells you to delete the files and registry items is the most harmful one. If you venture to perform this way of removal, in this case you should keep in mind just one simple principle: do not forget to create the backup of the registry.

In spite of the great difference in the price (Repair Shop service depends on the complexity of the issue and may cost up to $300, but paid antivirus costs up to $60) these methods are almost equal in the effectiveness and in the results. I should also say that paid antiviruses always has support service (often free) that will remove the virus like in an expensive computer repair shop.
