Miles Bartley (ID: 000000303adc103e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/10/2023 The website for the developer attempts to scam you into paying thousands of Bitcoin so you can just use your computer. Don't ever go to the site. If you are taken there, just go to the Control+Alt+Delete screen, do Task Manager, and kill your browser's task. Please don't let the page and this extension force you to give them all of your money. If you have it, DELETE IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IT IS A VIRUS.
