Boxore Adware - How to remove

Boxore Adware is an add-on that can be installed to Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer. The company that owes this application is based in Estonia. According to the official website boxore.com the tool is programmed to deliver the most relevant content, such as articles, videos and offers based on a computer user’s browsing interests. As the developers of Boxore explain, Internet users are presented with many advertisements anyway so why to have the irrelevant ones to be shown when one can choose to see those that match her interests. Moreover, the company shows a great concern with its customer’s privacy and the only information it monitors is keywords:

Boxore only looks at keywords inside pages you visit, matches them with generics topics (travel, baby products,…) and never accesses your personal information. This way, your anonymity is totally respected and protected whilst receiving the most tailored web experience available today.

All this sounds too good to be true. In reality Boxore adware is distributed using various tricks in order to get as many users as possible. One of the methods is attacking people who look for on-line movies to be watched. Usually one cannot watch a movie unless she downloads some special fancy codec. Boxore adware is known to be bundled with PlayerPlus. Once you get it from a movie site and start installing, you might end up having Boxore client and other adware like Babylon Toolbar added to your computer. You might have not installed these unwanted applications if you read installation guide carefully and removed the tick boxes marked by default. Alas many computer users do not bother to read the fine print. For the number of installs to be increased such tricks like displaying installation instructions in other language than English are used.

As soon as Boxore adware is installed, you will be flooded with advertisements. Ads delivered by this malicious application can come in all kinds of different forms, including pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. If you did not choose to install the add-on yourself, seeing them might become irritating very quickly. The most dangerous aspect of this virus is that you might get redirected to possibly dangerous websites. If you click on one of those ads displayed by Boxore, you might end up on a website owned by hackers or scammers, this would lead you to more severe cyber security problems. This malware might also be responsible for slower work of your computer or random freezes of your web browser.

Removing the application from Control Panel might not do the trick in many cases because adware like Boxore is designed to be resistant to removal. This is not surprising because every user generates money for the company by clicking on the ads. The easiest, safest and quickest way to get rid of Boxore adware is with a help of special antivirus software like Spyhunter It will remove all of the files related to this unwanted application automatically. Moreover, if more than one ad displaying software was installed, this tool will detect and remove them all.

There is also a way to eliminate infection like this manually. However, it is more complicated than removal using anti-malware software, therefore you should use some guidance. For this purpose we have developed a step-by-step Boxore manual removal guide – scroll down below this article and check it.
