Remove MovieSearchBox
MovieSearchBox is a low-quality browser extension. It is often installed by users who are looking for a way to watch movies and TV series online for free. However, you can rest assured that MovieSearchBox offers no services of this sort. In fact, it has no redeemable features – installing it on your computer will not help you view media in any way. Instead, MovieSearchBox may replace your favorite new tab page and search engine with an alternative site. The page that MovieSearchBox promotes is Portal.moviesearchbox.com.
Having all your searches redirected through MovieSearchBox is not necessarily a major issue, but it may hinder your Web browsing experience. Portal.moviesearchbox.com does not provide high-quality search results, and it is likely to contain much more ads than Google, Bing, or Yahoo. Furthermore, trying to revert the changes that MovieSearchBox introduces is not easy – the add-on will automatically undo changes concerning the default new tab page and search engine the browser uses.
The good news is that dealing with MovieSearchBox is an easy task as long as you rely on 3rd-party security tools. Modern anti-malware software will identify MovieSearchBox as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) and make sure to remove all components linked to this software package. Once the intrusive application is gone, you should be able to revert your browser settings back to normal.
