Manage Internet Browser Add-ons
Some of the websites and program downloaded from Internet install browser extensions silently on to the browsers in the computers, without the knowledge of the user. These add-ons, like extensions, plug-ins and so on, can be used by hackers to execute malicious activities on the user computers, including stealing confidential and sensitive information like credit card numbers and passwords typed in the web-based forms.
