Everyone should realize that all the programs for browsers including Shopping Ninja, no matter if they are helpful, are the weak spots for a browser where they are installed. The browser vendors produce periodic updates, due to which the safety of the browser is perfect. The presence of any browser add-on can make the effort to defend the security of the browser infeasible. And, as a result, some online offenders are able to infect your computer or collect your personal data. If you cannot imagine your browser without browser extensions, then I suggest to download add-ons from reliable software vendors only, perhaps it will promote you to defend the computer. But you should realize that it is better not to download any browser add-ons at all.
But if you still want to download any add-on then be ready that this add-on will have approval to see your sensitive data that you type on various websites and can give it to the third companies. You should understand that to install a browser extension is the same situation that todownload an utility. Will you install software if you did not hear about its producer? I think, no. So, you also should think about the browser add-on that you are eager to install.
Shopping Ninja is a browser extension that brings trouble. Is there any warranty that the special offers are 100% true? Certainly, no. So, you should not believe the ads and its promises. Also you should not click the links of the displayed promotions because they can be viral and so, in its train, your system can be infected with a dangerous viral program in your system.

Manual and Automatic Removal Methods?

These instructions are very effective because the browser creators care about your right to download and delete any extensions. This removal technique will let you to remove all the unwanted browser extensions and pop-ups will not exasperate you any more. But sometimes, using this way of removal users detect that the adware exists again in the browser and they need to fulfill any other techniques to delete it.
Of course there is one more manual removal instruction following which you should remove files and registry keys and values. This technique is not harmful in case if you are able to perform it gingerly or let the experienced person follow it. To make this process more secure you should do the backup of the registry. You should remember that only the itemized parts of the extension should be removed and no other ones differently your computer will not work.

Concerning the sums of money that users may spend on the removal of the virus I should say that some removal techniques are absolutely 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 powerful. The information about the effectiveness of these removal ways I illustrate 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 program.
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 removal techniques are almost equal in the effectiveness and in the results. I should also say that paid antiviruses always has support service (often free) that will solve your problem like in an expensive computer repair shop.
