The browser vendors release regular updates, due to which the browser safety is protected. The occurrence of any extension can make the try to defend the security of the browser impracticable. And, consequently, some internet criminals can infect your computer or collect your personal data. If you cannot conceive your life without browser extensions, then I advise to install extensions from well-known software vendors only, possibly it will promote you to keep your system secure. But you should realize that it is better not to install any browser add-ons at all.

But if you still are eager to have any browser extension so you should be prepared that this add-on will have compliance to record your private information that you leave on different web pages and can sell it to the third companies. You should realize that to download a browser add-on is the same situation that todownload software. Will you download a program if you did not hear about its vendor? I suggest you not to. So, you also should think about the browser add-on that you are eager to install.

Snip.to, as an advertising add-on, is more harmful, because there is no assurance that the popping-up advertising information is true and that the website that states in the announcement is secure. If you want to use Snip.to or any other browser extension that displays you special discounts then you should be ready that it is able to deceive you.

Snip.to like other adware software has a few common symptoms that will help you to define if your system is infected with it or not. Here is the list of them:

• Many pop-ups shown by Snip.to
• Very slow system

• Search results are hijacked
• Presence of Snip.to files, DIRS and registry keys

Manual and Automatic Removal Methods?

Manual removal method that you can use to remove Snip.to from browsers are secure and not so complicated as you may think. Possibly, only automatic way of removal is easier. This removal way is very efficacious for the browser vendors care about your right to download and delete any browser add-ons. The removal technique will give you a chance to uninstall all the undesirable browser extensions and you will not be shown its advertisements any more. But occasionally, using this method users are surprised that the PUP returns to the browser and they have to find any other techniques to delete it.

Also there is one more manual removal instruction where you should delete folders and registry entries. The described way of removal is secure in situation if you are able to follow it carefully or commit it to the experienced person who knows what and why should be done. To make this process more secure you should do the backup of the registry. You should keep in mind that only the listed elements of the software should be enumerated and no one more differently your PC will not load. If you do not know what registry entry is and where it should be, then it is better to use automatic method in order not to harm the PC.

You can just find the antivirus program that has Snip.to in its signature base. This method is more advantageous because you will have the antispyware and antimalware scanner that will defend the system from the future incoming threats.

Concerning the sums of money that users may pay for the removal of the virus I should say that some methods are absolutely free of charge, for example manual removal from browsers, manual professional removal (in the case if you will do it by yourselves), free antivirus program and the removal from Control Panel. But not all of them are effective. The information about the effectiveness of these methods I describe in the table that is called ‘Removal methods statistics’, you can see it below. Speaking about the paid ways of virus removal, I should list the Computer Repair Shop Service and paid Antivirus software.

These methods are the most efficient. In spite of the great difference in the price (Repair Shop service depends on the complication of the issue and may cost up to $300, but paid antivirus costs up to $60) these removal ways are almost equal in the effectiveness and in the results. I should also notice that paid antiviruses always has support service (sometimes free) that will solve your problem like in an expensive computer repair shop.
