Google and Mozilla will certainly add it to their plugin blacklists. Trojan capabilities remote-controlled through a browser, that's a very serious security risk to their users.

A bug is filed to blacklist it in Firefox:

should be same for Firefox, IE might require a little bit more. Not sure how it works in IE8+

In Firefox, open "about:addons" in the location bar, select "Plugins" on the left, then you can disable/remove as necessary.
