No matter what add-on you want to install, it will be the security vulnerability for the browser. EasyPhotoEdit is not an exclusion. All browser vendors produce security patches and worry about the security of their users. But when you activate any browser add-on, then software companies cannot guarantee that your PC will not be infected. Internet swindler can use the add-on like a pass to your PC. Surely there is a good way out from this situation: download extensions from reputed and reliable software vendors only. But is not 100% protection from internet criminals and software infections. I advise not to install browser extensions at all.
But if you still want to install one or another add-on so you should be ready that this add-on will get approval to record your private information that you enter on various social networks and can give it to the third companies. You should understand that to download a browser add-on is like installing an utility. Will you download a program if its software company is unknown? I think, no. So, you also should be careful downloading the extension that you are eager to install.
EasyPhotoEdit, as a promotional extension, is more dangerous, because you cannot be confident that the advertising notification is genuine and that the web address that states in the announcement is secure. If you are eager to make use of EasyPhotoEdit or any other add-on that displays you special offers then you should be ready that it can cheat you.

Manual and Automatic Removal Methods?
You should know that manual removal methods that uninstall EasyPhotoEdit from browsers are completely secure and you can use them not being afraid that you damage your system. I should mention that these methods are efficient, so you will get the wanted result and the extension will be removed together will all its manifestations. It is also an easy method; it yields only to the automatic way of removal. But at times, using this way of removal users notice that the program exists again in the browser and they need to fulfill any other methods to delete it.
Of course there is another manual removal instruction following which you should remove files and registry keys and values. This method is safe if you can follow it cautiously or let the specialist perform it. To make this instruction more secure you should create the backup of the registry. You should keep in mind that only the itemized elements of the extension should be removed and no other ones otherwise the system will not load. If you do not know what registry value is and where it can be found, then you are welcome to follow automatic way of removal in order not to damage your PC.
Still the most effective and the safest way of removal is automatic. Downloading any antivirus tool that includes EasyPhotoEdit in its signatures, you will delete this unwanted browser extension faster and the add-on will not annoy you again since the antivirus will protect your system in future.
Concerning the money that users may pay for the virus removal I should say that some methods are absolutely 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 equally effective. The information about the effectiveness of these removal ways 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 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 methods 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 solve your problem like in an expensive computer repair shop.
