All browser vendors release security updates and care about the security of their users. But when you download any extension, then vendors cannot ensure that your PC will not be infected. Online scammers can open the add-on as it were a gate to the PC. Surely there is a good solution for this problem: download add-ons from popular and reliable software vendors only. But is not an absolute protection from internet criminals and computer threats. It is far better not to download browser extensions at all.

But if you still want to have one or another add-on so be ready that this program will have approval to record your sensitive data that you leave on diverse social networks and can sell it to the third person. You should realize that to download a browser add-on is like installing software. Will you download a program if its vendor is unknown? I advise you not to. So, you also should be careful downloading the browser add-on that you are going to install.

Your Maps Now is a promotional add-on that brings trouble. Is there any warranty that the advertising information is 100% true? Of course, no. So, you should not trust the ads and its coupons. Also you should not visit the landing pages of the demonstrated promotions as they can be viral and so, as consequence, you can get a dangerous virus in your system.

Also these instructions are very effective, so you will get the wanted result and the extension will be eliminated together will all its manifestations. It is an easy way of removal as well; it yields merely to the automatic way of removal. But occasionally, using this way of removal users are surprised that the PUP returns to the browser and they have to find any other techniques to remove it.

Still the manual method that give instructions to eliminate some files, folders and registry entries is the most risk one. If you risk to perform this removal technique, in this situation you should retain just one ordinary: do not forget to create the backup of the registry. Also the technique should be executed only by the user that realizes what and why he should remove.In the situation if you will remove some files or registry keys that do not belong to Your Maps Now, then the PC will not load next time.

The described removal way is more helpful because you will install the antispyware and antimalware scanner that will defend your computer against the future computer viruses.

Concerning the sums of money that users may pay for the removal of the virus I should say that some removal techniques are absolutely free, for example manual removal from browsers, manual professional removal (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 uninstall techniques 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.
