How to Remove Box Rock Ads Malware (Uninstall Guide)

Box Rock Ads and Box Rock Related Searches show up on webpages when your computer is infected by adware. As the Internet becomes an increasingly important part of our daily lives, both for work and play, it should probably come as no great surprise that as it, and our usage of it, develops and evolves, so do the techniques employed by hackers and fraudsters who exploit our increasing dependence on the Internet to con us out of our money, or even our identities.
