How to Remove Gboxapp Adware Completely?
The Gboxapp Adware is a browser add on that displays special coupons and deals to users while they are shopping or searching online. It states that it is compatible with thousands of popular online vendors, and the company that has developed this adware has also developed several other “savings” based add ons and applications.
The add on is available for download on the official website for Gboxapp, but the majority of people have it put on their computer through bundle packages that include in within the install. They hide it in another download and while the user thinks that they are just authorizing the install of the one program they are also agreeing to install the Gboxapp Adware on their PC. This isn’t exactly the most ethical way to get consumers to use this browser add on because they are unwillingly consenting to its installation. Now, anytime a website is visited that syncs with the browser application it will result in a flood of pop up ads, and while the user technically agreed to install the Gboxapp Adware it is a legal way of getting this onto thousands of computers daily.
This is a perfect example of why you should always select to install new software and or programs manually, especially any freeware software that you get online. There is a good chance that there will be additional toolbars and browser add ons that are packaged together with the freeware and by selecting the automatic installation it will install everything contained in the file. If you select the manual installation and notice any other applications listed as default installation simply uncheck them and do not include them in the installation process. If the instructions are in a foreign language we suggest that you delete everything and do not install the program. There is too much risk associated with doing so. Please get rid of Gboxapp Adware as soon as possible.
