This removal way is very powerful as the browser vendors worry about your right to install or uninstall any extensions. This removal technique will let you to delete all the unwanted browser add-ons and pop-ups will not irritate you any more. But sometimes, using this method users are surprised that the adware exists again in the browser and they have to find any other techniques to remove it.

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 (if you will do it by yourselves), free antivirus software and the removal from Control Panel. But not all of them are effective. The information about the effectiveness of these methods I describe in the table that is called ‘Removal methods statistics’, you can see it below. Speaking about the paid techniques of virus removal, I should list the Computer Repair Shop Service and paid Antivirus software.
These methods are the most forceful. In spite of the great difference 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.
