Task Manager Tab

Posted: June 8, 2020

The Task Manager Tab is an add-on for your Web browser that promises to provide you with the ability to organize your daily tasks, set reminders, and use other features that would help you plan your day. However, the installation of Task Manager Tab also may bring some undesired changes when it comes to your Web browser's configuration – this add-on will replace the new tab page you see with Taskmanagertab.com/newtab/v1. While this change is not harmful, it forces you to use a website that you are not familiar with. Another issue with this change is that Taskmanagertab.com/newtab/v1 is not a reputable search engine, and it may not work as reliably and quickly as Google, Bing, Yahoo, or other popular websites that are used as the default new tab page frequently.

The Task Manager Tab is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), and users who rely on a reputable anti-malware product are likely to see an alert when they try to install this add-on. While installing the Task Manager Tab is not a security concern, you should not forget that this add-on forces you to use an alternative new tab page.

If you are being bothered by the changes brought by the Task Manager Tab, then we advise you to complete its removal with the help of an up-to-date PC security scanner. Once this PUP has been eliminated, your browser's settings should be reverted to their previous state automatically.
