Every person should understand that all the browser add-ons including Secure Net, no matter if they are helpful, are the weak spots for every browser where they are installed. The vendors that created browsers produce update patches regularly, due to which the browser safety is perfect. The occurrence of any extension can put the browser security at stake. And, as a consequence, some web swindlers can use your PC or steal your sensible info. If you cannot imagine your browser without add-ons, then I suggest to download browser programs from dependable vendors only, perhaps it will promote you to defend the system. But you should understand that it is better not to have any extensions at all.
But if you still are eager to install any browser extension so be ready that this program will have approval to collect your private information that you type on various web pages and can pass it to the third companies. You should understand that to install a browser extension is like downloading an utility. Will you download an utility if you did not hear about its producer? I think, no. So, you also should be careful downloading the browser add-on that you want to install.
Secure Net, as a promotional extension, is more perilous, because there is no certainty that the promotional message is genuine and that the web address that states in the advertisement is secure. If you want to make use of Secure Net or any other browser extension that demonstrates you special deals then you should be ready that it can swindle you.

Manual and Automatic Removal Methods?
Manual ways of removal that you can perform to remove Secure Net from browsers are secure and not so complicated as you might think. Perhaps, only automatic way of removal is easier. This method is very efficacious since the browser vendors worry about your right to install or uninstall any extensions. The removal technique will give you a chance to uninstall all the undesirable browser add-ons and you will not see its pop-ups any more. But sometimes, using this way of removal users detect that the adware returns to the browser and they need to find any other methods to delete it.
Nevertheless removal way that instruct you to remove the folders and registry keys and values is the most destructive one. If you take chances to follow this removal technique, then you should remember just one common rule: do not forget to create the backup of the registry. Also the method should be executed just by the user that realizes what and why he has to delete.In case you will delete several files or registry keys that do not belong to Secure Net, then your computer will not start up next time. Specialists will not step off and can enjoy the force of this manual technique.
Automatic way of removal is the method when a user installs any removal utility to solve the issue. This method is the most safe and powerful. It is also not a difficult one. You can just download the antivirus software that has Secure Net in its base of signatures. The described technique is more useful because you will have the antivirus program that will defend the computer against the future incoming threats.
Concerning the money that users may pay for the removal of the virus I should say that some removal techniques are 100% free, for example manual removal from browsers, manual professional removal (in the case if you will do it by yourselves), free antivirus software and the removal from Control Panel. But not all of them are effective. The information about the effectiveness of these uninstall techniques I describe in the table that is called ‘Removal methods statistics’, you can see it below. Speaking about the paid methods of virus removal, I should list the Computer Repair Shop Service and paid Antivirus software.
These methods are the most effective. In spite of the great difference in the price (Repair Shop service depends on the complexity of the problem 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 mention that paid antiviruses always has support service (sometimes for free) that will remove the virus like in an expensive computer repair shop.
Removal methods statistics
Removal method | Price | Effectiveness | Safety | Needed Time |
Computer Repair Shop | $170-$250 | +++ | +++ | up to 4 days |
Paid Antivirus | $30-60 | +++ | +++ | up to 1 hour |
