Boxo-search.com Removal Guide

Boxo-search.com is yet another member in a long line of browser hijacker clones, including enhanced-search.com and holasearch.com. Although it claims to be a very useful search tool that uses advanced technology, it is only an open door for you to get your system infected with even worse, more dangerous malware. What’s more, you might even become a victim of online fraud if you happen to click on a potentially harmful sponsored link among the search results Boxo-search.com provides you. This hijacker has modified your browser settings without your knowledge, which is already a breach of your privacy. Boxo-search.com will haunt you in all your major browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome because it affects them all. You have lost control of your browsers, which can ruin your browsing experience and can be really annoying. Therefore, we advise you to remove Boxo-search.com from your system ASAP.

It is impossible to download Boxo-search.com directly from any websites. In fact, this hijacker does have an official website, info.boxo-search.com, but apart from the removal instructions you can only read the Terms of Use; there is not even a single download button there. Therefore, the most usual way to have Boxo-search.com on your computer is via shareware bundles. The problem with free software bundles is that third-party installers might include adware, browser hijackers, and even malicious applications along with authentic freeware. Therefore, it is very important to be cautious when you install such a package, so that you may have a chance to say no to certain unwanted apps thus saving yourself some future headaches. So, if you have Boxo-search.com on your system, there is a possibility that your system is threatened by more infections and you need to delete all of them in order to restore security.

The main danger Boxo-search.com poses to your system‘s security and your privacy is actually „hidden“ among the search results it provides. It is quite possible that Boxo-search.com inserts third-party links on its result pages that might redirect you to potentially unsafe websites. Here is what Babylon Ltd., the search software’s publisher, discloses in the Terms of Use:

The Search Software may provide, or third parties may provide, search results or other links to other World Wide Web sites or resources or software. Because we have no control over such sites and resources and software, you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible...

Practically, no company can ever guarantee that the third-party websites you might land on are reliable. What if simply visiting an infected website can get you malicious programs onto your PC? What if you get redirected to an e-commerce site where you decide to buy something, but instead of getting a product, you will give your personal and banking details to cyber criminals? If you want to stay away from this kind of threat, you should remove Boxo-search.com from your system.

Please follow our instructions below to clear your computer from Boxo-search.com. If you do not want to do it yourself, you always have an alternative option. You can apply an authentic malware removal tool, such as SpyHunter, that will automatically clean your PC from all existing infections and also provide you with trustworthy protection.
