Box Rock Ads - How to remove

Box Rock is one more adware developed by SuperWeb LLC. Similar to other releases by this company, the program promises to enhance your browsing and help you with shopping online. However, its main goal is related to promoting websites of its partners. Usually the program is installed to computers bundled to other tools that don’t clearly disclose about this additional download. It can be added to your browser together with free music players, video recorders, PDF creators, etc. To avoid that, you have to be more careful with the installation steps of your new downloads. Most of the users go through the installation steps “blindly” without paying any attention. They just keep hitting the Next or Accept button and agree with everything without even reading. This can lead to adding various potentially unwanted programs, like Box Rock. If you opt for a Custom or Advanced installation and check every step very carefully, you will be able to deselect certain optional downloads. Remember that you should never accept any unknown downloads, as most likely they will bring you problems.

If your system has already been infected with Box Rock, it will interfere your browsing all the time. Box Rock Ads adware offers various deals, discounts, and promo codes that you can use at various shopping websites, just to get your attention and make you click on them. Beware that ads by Box Rock contain links to affiliate websites, so if you click on them, you will help adware creators to make money. You should also pay attention to the fact that Box Rock Ads can redirect you to compromised websites where you can get your computer infected or where you can give out some of your personal information, even your passwords. As you know this can have an impact on your privacy and security of your computer.

Are you surprised that Box Rock Ads are somehow related to your recent searches? That is because the adware can track your browsing history and collect information about your search queries as well as mostly visited websites. This data is later used to generate personalised ads, which are much more effective and get more clicks. However, this also means that Box Rock can involve you into other activities by third parties which can bring you even more issues. This is another reason to remove this adware from your system as soon as possible.

To get rid of Box Rock Ads, run a full system scan with a reputable antispyware program, for example, Malwarebytes or Spyhunter. If you are a more experienced computer user, you can try doing it manually although it doens’t always work. In this case, you will have to remove Box Rock adware and other items related to “coupons”, “deals”, “savings”, etc. from your programs list and restore the settings of all affected browsers. The latter step is really important to ensure a Box Rock adware is fully removed and it will not come back after a system reboot. Check out a step-by-step guide below this article for more help.
