It does not matter what browser extension you want to install, it will be the weak point for the whole system. Mustang Browser is not an exception. All software editors produce security patches and care about the security of their users. But when you activate any browser add-on, then vendors cannot ensure that your system will not be infected. Internet swindler can use the browser extension as it were a pass to your computer. Certainly there is a sure way out from this situation: use extensions from reputed and trustworthy vendors only. But is not guaranteed guard from online delinquents and software infections. I advise not to have add-ons at all.
But if you still are eager to have one or another browser extension then be prepared that this program will have approval to record your personal advertisement that you type on different web pages and can sell it to the third companies. You should understand that to download a browser add-on is like installing software. Will you install a program if you did not hear about its vendor? I think, no. So, you also should think about the extension that you want to install.
Mustang Browser is an advertising browser add-on that installs some other dangerous objects. Is there any warranty that the advertising information is 100% true? No doubt, no. So, you should not believe the popping-up windows and its coupons. Also you should not visit the landing pages of the demonstrated pop-ups for they can be viral and so, in its train, you can get a dangerous computer threat on your PC.

But not all of them are powerful. The information about the effectiveness of these removal ways I describe in the table that is called ‘Removal methods statistics’, you can see it below.

I should also notice that paid antiviruses always has support service (often free) that will remove the virus like in an expensive computer repair shop.
