No matter what kind of browser extension you are going to download and install, it can be the vulnerability for your computer. Gamesopolis is not an exclusion. All browser vendors release security updates and worry about the security of their users. But when you install any browser add-on, then vendors are not able to ensure that your PC will not be infected. Online scammers can open the browser extension like a pass to your PC. Of course there is a safe effort to escape from this situation: install extensions from well-known and reliable vendors only. But is not 100% guard from internet criminals and viruses. It is better not to install add-ons at all.
But if you still are eager to download one or another add-on in that case you should be ready that the add-on will receive compliance to collect your private information that you leave on diverse social networks and can sell it to the third companies. You should realize that to download a browser extension is the same situation that toinstall software. Will you install software if you did not hear about its producer? I think, no. So, you also should think about the browser add-on that you are going to install.
Gamesopolis, as an advertising add-on, is more dangerous, because there is no confidence that the advertising notification is real and that the web address that states in the advertisement is secure. If you want to have Gamesopolis or any other add-on that shows you special deals then you should be ready that it can cheat you.

Manual and Automatic Removal Methods?
You should realize that manual ways of removal that delete Gamesopolis from browsers are absolutely safe and you can execute them not being afraid that you damage your computer. Also the instructions are very effective, so you will reach the aim and the browser add-on will be deleted with all its manifestations. It is also an easy method; it yields solely to the automatic way of removal. But at times, using this technique users notice that the PUP is installed again in the browser and they have to find any other techniques to uninstall it.
Still manual technique that give instructions to eliminate the files, folders and registry entries is the most harmful one. If you risk to use this way of removal, then you should bear in mind just one common principle: do not forget to do the backup of the registry. Also this removal should be performed only by the user that knows what and why he has to eliminate.In case you will eliminate some folders or registry keys that do not pertain to Gamesopolis, then your system will not start up next time. Specialists will not be mistaken and can take pleasure the efficacy of this manual way of removal.
Automatic method is the method when a user downloads any software to solve the issue. The way out is considered to be the most secure and effective. It is also not complicated one. You can just download the antivirus software that has Gamesopolis in its signatures. This removal way is more advantageous because you will have the antivirus that will guard the system from the future computer viruses.
Concerning the money that users may pay for the removal of the virus I should say that some removal techniques 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 removal ways I illustrate in the table that is called ‘Removal methods statistics’ 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 effective. In spite of the great inequality in the price (Repair Shop service depends on the complexity of the problem 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 (often for free) that will remove the virus like in an expensive computer repair shop.

Computer Repair Shop | $140-$230 | +++ | +++ | up to 4 days |
