It does not matter what kind of extension you are eager to download, it will be the weak point for the whole system. PasswordBoss is not an exclusion. All software editors produce security patches and worry about the safety of their users. But when you download any browser add-on, then vendors cannot be sure that your system will not be infected. Online scammers can open the browser extension as it were a gate to the PC. Of course there is a sure effort to escape from this situation: download add-ons from reputed and dependable software vendors only. But is not guaranteed defense from online delinquents and software infections. It is far better not to install browser extensions at all.

But if you still need to download one or another browser extension then you should be prepared that this extension will receive compliance to record your personal advertisement that you leave on different social networks and can give it to the third companies. You should understand that to download a browser add-on is like downloading an utility. Will you download a program if you do not know its vendor? I advise you not to. So, you also should be careful downloading the browser add-on that you are going to install.

PasswordBoss is a promotional add-on that installs some other dangerous objects. Is there any assurance that the deals are 100% real? Surely, no. So, you should not trust the ads and its coupons. Also you should not click the links of the demonstrated ads because they can be malicious and so, as consequence, you will get a real virus in your system.

PasswordBoss like other adware software has a few common symptoms that will help you to define if your computer is infected with it or not. Here is the list of them:

• Many ads shown by PasswordBoss
• Very sluggish PC
• Antimalware finds some dangers
• Changes in your browser (toolbars, homepage, search engine)
• Search results are redirected
• Presence of PasswordBoss files, DIRS and registry keys

Manual and Automatic Removal Methods?

Manual removal method that you can perform to uninstall PasswordBoss from browsers are secure and not so complicated as you may think. Probably, only automatic instructions are easier. These instructions are very effective since the browser vendors bother about your right to add or remove any browser add-ons. The method will let you to delete all the undesired browser extensions and you will not be displayed its pop-ups any more. But sometimes, using this method users notice that the program exists again in the browser and they need to perform any other techniques to uninstall it.

Of course there is one more manual removal instruction following which you should remove folders and registry entries. The described technique is secure in case if you will perform it gingerly or commit it to the experienced person who knows what and why should be done. In order to make this instruction more secure you should create the backup of the registry. Do not forget that only the listed elements of the software should be enumerated and no one more otherwise the system will not load. If you do not know what registry key is and where it should be found, then you are welcome to follow automatic way of removal not to damage your computer.

Still the most effective and the safest method is automatic. Installing any antivirus tool that has PasswordBoss in its signature base, you will delete this undesired software promptly and it will not bother you again since the antivirus will defend your system in future.

Concerning the money that users may spend on the removal of the virus I should say that some removal techniques are absolutely free of charge, for example manual removal from browsers, manual professional removal (in the case if you will do it by yourselves), free antivirus program and the removal from Control Panel. But not all of them are equally effective. The information about the effectiveness of these removal ways I describe in the table that is called ‘Removal methods statistics’, you can see it below. Speaking about the paid ways of virus removal, I should mention the Computer Repair Shop Service and paid Antivirus software.

These methods are the most forceful. In spite of the great difference in the price (Repair Shop service depends on the complexity of the issue and may cost up to $300, but paid antivirus costs up to $60) these methods are almost equal in the effectiveness and in the results. I should also notice that paid antiviruses always has support service (sometimes for free) that will remove the virus like in an expensive computer repair shop.
