The 'Add Extension to Leave' Pop-Ups have become a rather popular method used to distribute browser add-ons, which may seem important to install. However, they usually are programmed not to help the user but, instead, to carry out their operations silently, which are meant to assist the publisher by either monetizing their ads or bringing more traffic to their websites. The 'Ipasta' Chrome Extension by Whosopher.com is one of the latest examples of a browser add-on spread via these techniques and, as expected, its installation is likely to bring nothing but trouble.

Remember that you should never install browser add-ons or software that is advertised as 'mandatory' by unknown websites. The only special case will be if you are certain that the website making the offer is legitimate. And, even then, we would advise you to use your anti-virus software suite to ensure that there is nothing shady going on.

This task can be completed either manually or with the help of a credible cyber security scanning tool.
