About Productivity 2 Toolbar?

Productivity 2 Toolbar is a web browser extension developed by Conduit, compatible with Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox. The toolbar is designed to enhance browsing experience by providing a range of generic features, including a search box and quick-access tools. However, it is important to note that the toolbar collects browsing data and may send this information to OurToolbar for the purpose of suggesting relevant services or displaying targeted ads. During installation, the toolbar may prompt to modify the browser’s home page and search provider settings, typically with the option pre-selected by default. Additionally, the software has the capability to automatically download and install updates without user notification. It is essential for users to be aware that Productivity 2 Toolbar operates under a pay-per-install model, whereby the publisher receives compensation from Conduit for each installation, as well as for the duration the toolbar remains installed in a user's browser.
