Remove Boxore Ads from Chrome/FF/IE

Can’t Remove Boxore ads? This page includes the ads by Boxore Removal instructions!

Boxore is classified as adware and a potentially unwanted program. It displays all of the annoying and dangerous characteristics of typical adware. Not only does it flood you with all kinds of pop-up advertisements, but it also keeps track of your browsing habits. Once it has gathered enough information on your preferences and interests, the bombardment of ads commences. You might hope that there will come a time when Boxore will stop interfering with your browsing experience in such a frustrating way, but the program is persistent. It will only stop if you remove it altogether, which is actually what experts advise you to do in the first place.

How did I get infected with?

Boxore finds a way to invade your system behind your back, but still tricks you into agreeing to let it in. Confused? Well, it’s actually not as complicated as it sounds. The program usually hides behind freeware and during the installation process, when most users are distracted and don’t care enough to read the terms and conditions they’re agreeing to, Boxore makes its move. Meaning that one of the things you agreed to during the freeware installation was for Boxore to also be installed on your computer. So, there – it enters unnoticed, but you allow for it. Of course, the application can also be installed by choice from boxore.com, not that this would be a good idea.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Just like many other adware programs, Boxore is not malicious by design, but the people behind it can certainly use it for malicious purposes. Which they do. The pop-up windows contain links to websites, which the application believes would best suit your interests. They are specifically chosen for you, as they are based on the information Boxore has collected on your browsing activities. But that doesn’t mean it’s safe to click on them, but quite the contrary. One more thing you should be wary of when it comes to Boxore is the fact that once it’s in your system, it has the ability to change some of your settings. For example, one day you can wake up and find out that your home page and default search engine have been switched. All of this combined with the incredible annoyance of having to deal with pop-up ads, like the one from ilividnewtab.com you see above, should really tilt the scales in favour of deleting the program, so spare yourself the headaches and get rid of Boxore as soon as you realize it has infected your PC.
