The truly suspicious application has been revealed to travel bundled with other applications, and some of these may be equally as suspicious or even more clandestine and malicious.

Shop with Boost

Shop with Boost

Shop with Boost is a browser plugin developed by Verti Technology Group, Inc. Even though the program is presented as a beneficial and reliable application, our malware researchers place it in the same category as the recently reported BestSaveForYou, Happy2Save or Sharp-savings. These applications are advertisement supported which means that their services are closely linked to online advertising. Unfortunately, adware is always linked to third parties. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers recommend Shop with Boost removal because the third party affiliates are highly questionable and possibly unreliable. In fact, if you do not delete the extension and allow the suspicious ads flooding, it is likely that your virtual security will be exposed to potentially mischievous parties. Read more »
