It is all the same what browser extension you are going to download, it will be the security vulnerability for the browser. KMS is not an exception. All software editors release security updates and bother about the safety of their users. But if you install any browser add-on, then software companies cannot be sure that your computer will not be infected. Online scammers can use the add-on as it were a gate to your PC. Certainly there is a safe way out from this situation: use extensions from reputed and dependable vendors only. But is not an absolute guard from online delinquents and software infections. It is better not to have browser extensions at all.
It is important to know that every installed extension has already got the approval to collect your sensitive data that you enter when complete a form on the web. The data, including your phone number, your first and second names, your email, etc. Can be passed to some advertising companies. Be prudent installing and using any browser add-ons and do not install them, if there is not a real necessity in it.
KMS, as a promotional extension, is more dangerous, because you cannot be certain that the popping-up advertising information is real and that the web address that states in the ad is secure. If you want to make use of KMS or any other add-on that displays you special offers then be ready that it can cheat you.

Manual and Automatic Removal Methods?
You should know that manual removal methods that delete KMS from browsers are completely safe and you can use them not being afraid that you damage your PC. I should notice that the ways of removal are efficient, so you will succeed and the browser add-on will be eliminated with all its manifestations. It is also an easy method; it yields merely to the automatic method of removal. But occasionally, using this technique users detect that the adware returns to the browser and they have to find any other methods to remove it.
But the manual method that instruct you to delete the files, folders and registry entries is the most harmful one. If you venture to use this removal technique, in this situation you should retain just one simple rule: do not forget to produce the backup of the registry. Also the removal should be performed just by the user that understands what and why he should remove.In the situation if you will eliminate some folders or registry keys that do not belong to KMS, then the PC will not start up next time. Experts will not make this mistake and can be delighted with the efficacy of this manual way of removal.

Downloading any antimalware software that includes KMS in its base of viruses, you will remove this unwanted browser extension faster and the virus will not irritate you any more since the antivirus software will defend your computer hereafter.
Concerning the sums of money that users may pay for the virus removal I should say that some removal techniques are 100% free, 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 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 ways 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 difference in the price (Repair Shop service depends on the complication 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 (sometimes for free) that will remove the virus like in an expensive computer repair shop.
