The Demoney Chrome Extension is a browser extension offered via various shady pop-ups and messages whose purpose is to convince the users that they are about to install a useful utility that can help them find out how to make loads of money quickly. In fact, this is exactly the description the Demoney Chrome Extension had on its official download page – 'Find Out How You Can Earn A Lot Of Money In No Time!' As most of you may guess probably, this extension does nothing of this sort, and it will not show you a miraculous way to make money. However, when you install it, you may realize that the Demoney add-on will bring some changes to the way your browser operates.

The author of this software is likely to make money by displaying paid ads in the Web browsers of users who have Demoney installed and running. The ads are injected in various Web pages, and they all seem to originate from the domain Dyaform.com. The contents of the ads are rather dubious, and users might often see offers to visit shady websites, which are used to host adult or prated content, as well as download links that may lead them to other adware, or even to more harmful pieces of software.

If you have installed the Demoney Chrome Extension recently, then you need to take the necessary action to eliminate this adware and restore your Web browser's normal behavior immediately. This adware, in particular, can be removed by uninstalling it manually, but for extra safety, we advise our readers to deal with Demoney Chrome Extension by using a reputable anti-malware tool.
