If you cannot conceive your browser without add-ons, then I advise to install browser programs from dependable software vendors only, possibly it will assist you to keep your PC safe. But you should know that it is better not to have any extensions at all.

But if you still are eager to install one or another add-on then you should be prepared that this add-on will get approval to collect your personal advertisement that you leave on various websites and can give it to the third parties.

So, you also should think about the extension that you are eager to install.

BitX is a browser extension that adds some other dangers. Is there any guarantee that the advertising information is 100% true? Certainly, no. So, you should not confide the pop-ups and its coupons. Also you should not visit the websites of the shown promotions since they can be viral and so, in its train, you can get a real viral program in your system.

Manual and Automatic Removal Methods?

You should realize that manual ways of removal that uninstall BitX from browsers are absolutely safe and you can perform them not being afraid that you harm your PC. I should notice that the methods are efficient, so you will get the wanted result and the browser add-on will be eliminated together will all its manifestations. It is also an easy method; it yields merely to the automatic method of removal. But occasionally, using this technique users notice that the adware is installed again in the browser and they need to find any other techniques to uninstall it.

Also there is another manual way of removal using which you should delete folders and registry entries. This technique is safe in case if you will execute it gingerly or let the specialist follow it. In order to make this process more secure you should create the backup of the registry. You should keep in mind that only the enumerated parts of the program should be removed and no other ones otherwise your computer will not work. If you do not know what registry entry is and where it should be placed, then you are welcome to follow automatic technique in order not to harm the PC.

Automatic way of removal is the method when a user runs any removal utility to solve the issue. This method refers to the most safe and sure. It is also the easiest one. You can just find the antimalware scanner that has BitX in its base of signatures. This removal way is more useful because you will have the antispyware and antimalware scanner that will protect your computer from the future incoming threats.

Concerning the money that users may spend on the virus removal I should say that some removal techniques are absolutely free of charge, 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 equally effective. The information about the effectiveness of these methods I illustrate in the table that is called ‘Removal methods statistics’ 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 efficient. 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 removal ways are almost equal in the effectiveness and in the results. I should also say that paid antiviruses always has support service (sometimes for free) that will solve your problem like in an expensive computer repair shop.
