Box Green (also Box Green Ads or Ads by Box Green) is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and adware. Box Green is known to display numerous advertisements (deals, coupons, pop-ups, banners, offers, etc.) based on information the application has collected about the user’s browsing habits. Although Box Green is not a virus, malware experts recommend the application’s removal right away. Box Green serves as an advertising engine for ad providers, whose primary goal is to benefit from online ads and raise the traffic on their web pages. The promoted ads will not only disrupt your browsing routine; they may link you to corrupt websites and pose security risks to the compromised machine.
How Is Box Green Distributed?
Adware applications like Box Green usually arrive bundled with free of charge programs downloaded online. The user might install Box Green Ads on his computer alongside free software and not even realize it until the pop-ups ads flood every page he visits. Malware experts recommend selecting the Advanced installation options; this way the user can have full transparency of the installation process and have the option uncheck additionally suggested programs and apps.
How Do You Know Your PC Is Infected With Box Green?
The ads displayed by Box Green (pop-up, banner, in-text ads, offers, deals, coupons, and price comparisons) will appear on the web pages the user views. They may cause unwanted redirects to unsafe web locations if clicked on. This way, these third-party advertisements may also expose the user’s PC to serious security issues.
Box Green Ads may track specific information so that the application can display advertising content matching the victim’s interests. For example – browsing history, search queries, IP address, and sometimes even personally identifiable information.
