Everyone should realize that all the browser extensions including Chimera, no matter if they are helpful, are the weak spots for every browser where they are installed. The software companies that created browsers produce systematic updates, due to which the browser safety is perfect. The occurrence of any browser add-on can make the attempt to defend the security of the browser impossible. And, as a consequence, some internet criminals can use your PC or thieve your sensible info. If you are not able to imagine your browser without browser extensions, then I suggest to install add-ons from dependable vendors only, perhaps it will help you to defend your system. But you should realize that it is better not to install any extensions at all.

You should know that every installed browser add-on has already got the allowance to use your sensitive data that you report when complete a form on-line. This data, including your phone number, your first and second names, your email, etc. Can be passed to some advertising companies. Be provident looking for any browser add-ons and do not look for them, if there is not a real want in it.

Chimera, as a browser extension, is more dangerous, because you cannot be sure that the advertising notification is genuine and that the website that states in the advertisement is safe. If you want to use Chimera or any other add-on that displays you special deals then you should be ready that it can deceive you.

Chimera like other adware programs has several common symptoms that will help you to detect if your computer is infected with it or not. Here is the list of them:

• Many block of ads shown by Chimera
• Very sluggish system
• Antivirus software detects some computer infections
• Some changes in the browser (toolbars, homepage, search engine)
• Search results are redirected
• Chimera adds its files, DIRS and registry entries

Manual and Automatic Removal Methods?

Manual removal method that you can perform to uninstall Chimera from browsers are safe and not so difficult as you might think. Possibly, only automatic way of removal is easier. These instructions are very efficacious because the browser creators worry about your right to add or remove any browser add-ons. This way of removal will let you to uninstall all the undesired browser add-ons and ads will not annoy you any more. But sometimes, using this way of removal users detect that the program exists again in the browser and they have to find any other methods to uninstall it.

But removal way that tells you to delete the files and registry items is the most dangerous one. If you take chances to follow this method, in this case you should retain only one ordinary rule: do not forget to do the backup of the registry. Also this method should be performed only by the user that knows what and why he should delete.In the situation if you will remove several files or registry keys and values that do not belong to Chimera, then your system will not load next time. Experienced users will not be mistaken and can take pleasure the efficacy of this manual technique.

Automatic way of removal is the method when a user downloads any software to solve the problem. This way is considered to be the most secure and effective. It is also not complicated one. You should just download the antimalware scanner that has Chimera in its base of signatures. This technique is more useful because you will have the antivirus program that will defend your PC from the future incoming threats.

Concerning the sums of money that users may spend on the virus removal I should say that some removal techniques are 100% free, for example manual removal from browsers, manual professional removal (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 removal ways I describe in the table that is called ‘Removal methods statistics’ below. Speaking about the paid methods of virus removal, I should mention the Computer Repair Shop Service and paid Antivirus software.

These methods are the most forceful. In spite of the great distinction 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 notice that paid antiviruses always has support service (often for free) that will solve your problem like in an expensive computer repair shop.
