Many experts consider VK+OK AdBlock to be an unwanted browser extension. Such an assumption is true as long as it runs suspicious activity without the consent of users. Initially, VK+OK AdBlock is the name of a Google Chrome extension available for download in the official store. Its main goal is to improve the browsing experience by blocking ads across all social media popular in Russia. However, despite it is able to perform this feature indeed, some actions taken by the extension are shady and do not consent users. At first, VK+OK AdBlock keeps sending information to its server in Russia even when users stop using any social media websites. This says there is a risk of data surveillance, which can be gathered by the developers and used in illegal needs. The second suspicious thing is why VK+OK AdBlock ads itself to the exception list of Windows Defender. Apparently, the extension has some security issues and does not want to be removed by the antivirus program. Lack of transparency, as well as unwanted distribution methods, puts VK+OK AdBlock onto the list of potentially unwanted extensions that should be removed from your system.

Browse Safely is promoted as an ostensibly useful extension meant to advance your browsing experience. In fact, it is classified as a browser hijacker, which configures the settings to change your search engine to browsesafelysearch.com and read whatever your enter during browser usage. Along with this, Browse Safely is likely to add a New Tab your browser will start with. Such changes are impossible to undo due to certain settings configured by Browse Safely inside of your system. In other words, there might also be an unwanted program that reinstalls Browse Safely even if you delete it from the list of extensions.

Thus, it is pointless to have Browse Safely part of your browsing life. Moreover, it can capture valuable data like passwords or IP addresses to make a profit on its sales to other figures. This is why it is necessary to remove Browse Safely from your computer without any traces. To do this, follow our tutorial below.
