Also, you’ll have to bear the frustration of seeing pop-up advertisements every single time you try to go online. But apart from interrupting your browsing experience by forcing pop-up ads on you, ProductivityBoss can also implement various reshuffles on your system, which will prove disastrous for it. For example, if it wishes it can replace your preferred homepage and search engine, and redirect you to websites, which are far from reliable. But the worst part about getting stuck with the toolbar is how it jeopardizes your personal and financial information. Oh, yes. ProductivityBoss contains keyloggers used to steal your personal and financial data. Every move you make while browsing the web is monitored and thoroughly cataloged. And, once the toolbar gets a hold of your private details, it proceeds to send everything it has collected from you to the unknown third parties behind it. That’s right. Strangers will be given access to your name, IP address, passwords, credit card/s and bank account/s information, etc. Are you willing to take such a risk? Do yourself a favor, and remove the ProductivityBoss toolbar as soon as you notice its presence on your computer. It will be for the best.
