It is all the same what extension you want to install, it can be the security vulnerability for the browser. Body Text Feathering is not an exception. All software vendors produce security patches and bother about the security of their users. But when you activate any browser add-on, then software companies cannot be sure that your PC will not be infected. Online scammers can open the add-on like a gate to your PC. Of course there is a sure solution for this problem: use browser add-ons from popular and reliable software vendors only. But is not guaranteed defense from internet criminals and viruses. It is better not to install browser extensions at all.
It is important to understand that every installed extension has the approval to use your personal info that you report when complete a form on the web. This information, including your telephone number, your first and second names, number of your credit card, etc. Can be passed to some public relations. Be provident installing and using any extensions and do not install them, if there is not a true want in it.
Body Text Feathering, as an advertising add-on, is more harmful, because there is no confidence that the promotional message is real and that the website that states in the advertisement is safe. If you want to use Body Text Feathering or any other add-on that displays you special deals then you should be ready that it is able to cheat you.

Manual and Automatic Removal Methods?
You should know that manual removal instructions that delete Body Text Feathering from browsers are 100% secure and you can perform them not being afraid that you harm your computer. I should mention that these methods are productive, so you will reach the aim and the browser add-on will be deleted together will all its manifestations. It is also an easy method; it yields solely to the automatic way of removal. But occasionally, using this technique users are surprised that the PUP returns to the browser and they have to find any other methods to uninstall it.
Of course there is another manual removal method using which you should delete files and registry keys and values. The described technique is safe in situation if you can perform it gingerly or commit it to the experienced person who knows what and why should be removed. To make this instruction safer you should do the backup of the registry. You should remember that only the itemized parts of the extension should be removed and no one more differently your computer will not work. If you do not know what registry entry is and where it can be found, then you should use automatic technique not to damage your PC.
Automatic technique is the method when a user runs any removal program to solve the issue. The way out is the most safe and sure. It is also not complicated one. You should just install the antivirus program that has Body Text Feathering in its signature base. The described technique is more helpful because you will install the antivirus that will protect the system from the future computer viruses.
Concerning the sums of money that users may spend on 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 equally effective. The information about the effectiveness of these uninstall techniques I describe in the table that is called ‘Removal methods statistics’ below. Speaking about the paid techniques of virus removal, I should mention the Computer Repair Shop Service and paid Antivirus software.
These methods are the most efficient. In spite of the great inequality in the price (Repair Shop service depends on the complexity 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 say that paid antiviruses always has support service (often free) that will solve your problem like in an expensive computer repair shop.
