Every person should know that all the browser extensions including ProWebi, no matter if they are functional, are the vulnerabilities for every browser where they are installed. The browser vendors produce update patches periodically, due to which the browser safety is protected. The existence of any browser add-on can make the attempt to protect the security of the browser infeasible. And, consequently, some online offenders are able to infect your PC or thieve your sensible info. If you cannot imagine your life without browser extensions, then I advise to install add-ons from reliable software vendors only, perhaps it will help you to protect the PC. But you should realize that it is better not to download any browser add-ons at all.
You should be aware that every installed browser add-on has already got the permission to collect your private information that you enter when complete a form on-line. The data, including your telephone number, your first and second names, your email, etc. Can be sold to some advertising companies. Be careful using any extensions and do not look for them, if you have not a real want in it.
ProWebi, as a browser extension, is more dangerous, because there is no assurance that the promotional message is real and that the website that states in the advertisement is safe. If you are eager to use ProWebi or any other browser extension that shows you special offers then you should be ready that it can trick you.

ProWebi like other adware programs has some common symptoms that will help you to understand if your computer is infected with it or not. Here is the list of them:
- Many ads and pop-ups shown by ProWebi
- Very sluggish performance
- Antivirus software finds some dangers
- Changes in your browser (toolbars, homepage, search engine)
- Search results are hijacked
- Presence of ProWebi files, DIRS and registry entries
Manual and Automatic Removal Methods?
Manual removal method that you can execute to delete ProWebi from browsers are not dangerous and not so difficult as you may think. Probably, only automatic method is easier. These instructions are very effective as the browser creators worry about your right to download and delete any extensions. The removal technique will give you a chance to uninstall all the undesirable browser add-ons and you will not be displayed its advertisements any more. But occasionally, using this technique users are surprised that the adware exists again in the browser and they have to perform any other methods to uninstall it.
But there is one more manual way of removal where you should remove files and registry keys and values. The method is safe in case if you can execute it carefully or commit it to the experienced person who knows what and why should be deleted. To make this instruction more secure you should do the backup of the registry. You should keep in mind that only the listed elements of the software should be enumerated and no one more otherwise the computer will not work. If you do not know what registry key is and where it should be placed, then it is better to use automatic way of removal not to harm the computer.
Automatic method is the method when a user runs any removal utility to solve the issue. This method is the most harmless and powerful. It is also not a difficult one. You can just download the antivirus software that has ProWebi in its signatures. The described method is more useful because you will have the antivirus that will guard the system from the future possible computer infections.
Concerning the money that users may pay for 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 (in the case 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 describe 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 forceful. In spite of the great difference 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 free) that will remove the virus like in an expensive computer repair shop.
Removal methods statistics
Removal method | Price | Effectiveness | Safety | Needed Time |
Computer Repair Shop | $150-$250 | +++ | +++ | up to 4 days |
Paid Antivirus | $35-70 | +++ | +++ | up to 1 hour |
Free Antivirus |
$0 | +/- | +/- | up to 3 hours |
From Control Panel | $0 | +/- | ++ | up to 1 hour |
Manual Removal (Professional) | $0 | + | – | up to 4 Hours |
Removal from browsers | $0 | +/- | +/- | up to 1 hour |
