VideoBox

It is not difficult to understand why Video Box is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). For starters, the application might be spread through bundled software installers, and because of this, some users could accept the tool without even realizing it. Another downfall of this program is the potentially dangerous advertisements that might appear while using the PUP. Sadly, interaction with such ads could expose your system to malware or other threats. Therefore, we do not advise using Video Box for users who care about their PC’s safety and put their effort to keep it clean. If you are determined to protect the computer as well, we urge you to consider the tool’s deletion. It is not so hard, and if you check the manual removal instructions available at the end of this page, you should see it for yourself.

First of all, let us start from the application’s distribution method. Our specialists who researched and tested the Pup say it could enter the system with the help of bundled software installers. Most likely, users may come across such files on torrent or other untrustworthy file-sharing web pages. As we said at the beginning of the text, there is a possibility users could receive Video Box unknowingly. For instance, it might happen if you rush the installation process and do not pay any attention to the provided terms or suggestions. Needless to say that if you do not want this to happen again, you should always read the information on the configuration wizard and deselect the unwanted software. Additionally, we would advise you to keep away from sites that may bundle their installers with untrustworthy programs or at least keep a reliable security tool, which could warn you about threats.

Talking about the application itself, Video Box lets you download videos from lots of different popular web pages (e.g. YouTube). The explanation on the PUP’s main window says you only have to “Enter URL from Youtube, Dailymotion, Vimeo and many other then click Search button.” Then the tool should display a list from which you can pick the format you need. The bad news is that while the video is being downloaded the software might show advertisements originating from malicious web pages. For instance, they could offer the user to visit pornography sites or lead him to web pages distributing similar threats, for example, adware, browser hijackers, and so on. On some websites, users could even encounter malicious applications like viruses, Trojans, ransomware, worms, etc. Naturally, to stay away from such content and keep your system safe, it would be advisable to erase the PUP before something bad happens.

The program should create quite a lot of folders and files during its installation. If you delete such data, the software should be removed. However, this method might require time and patience, so instead of erasing files belonging to Video Box separately, our researchers advise uninstalling it via Control Panel. This way you could get rid of this PUP faster. If you do not know how to access Control Panel or use its features, it might be a good idea to use the instructions available below the text as they will guide you through the process step by step.

What’s more, the application could be eliminated with a reliable security tool. Simply install such software, launch it, and click the scanning button. Wait till the report is displayed and then remove all detected threats at the same time by clicking the deletion button. Of course, if you have more questions about Video Box, you can leave us a message below or contact us via social media, and we will try to reply as soon as possible.
