Online scammers can use the browser extension like a pass to your system. Surely there is a good effort to escape from this situation: install add-ons from popular and trustworthy vendors only. But is not guaranteed protection from internet criminals and software infections. It is far better not to download add-ons at all.

But if you still need to have any browser extension in that case you should be ready that this add-on will get compliance to see your sensitive data that you enter on various websites and can sell it to the third companies.

This removal way is very powerful as the browser vendors care about your right to add or remove any browser add-ons. This method will let you to delete all the undesired browser extensions and ads will not exasperate you any more. But sometimes, using this method users detect that the program is installed again in the browser and they have to fulfill any other methods to remove it.
