What is Jamboxlive.com?
How did Jamboxlive.com enter your operating system? If you did not notice it at all, the chances are that it was installed without your permission, in which case, you need to remove it as soon as possible. Researchers at Anti-Spyware-101.com recommend removing this suspicious search tool even if you have let it in yourself because it does not offer reliable or highly beneficial services. If you have used it already, you might have noticed that it redirects to a third-party search engine to show you search results. Needless to say, that makes the hijacker useless when it comes to web browsing. Of course, it is unlikely to redirect you to a third-party engine to promote it. Instead, it is likely to exploit it to showcase sponsored links. These could be added to the links you would normally find, and you might interact with them without fully understanding it. Unfortunately, this could be dangerous. Needless to say, it all depends on the links that are shown to you, but since the advertisers working with the creator of the hijacker are unknown, trusting them is very risky.

How does Jamboxlive.com work?
You are unlikely to face Jamboxlive.com on its own because this browser hijacker is usually represented via an extension called “JamBox.” It could be spread by malicious software distributors along with malware and unwanted programs, but Google Chrome users can also install it from the Chrome web store at chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jambox/ndafjalmnedicmiaahbkegkdljhcfglg. The official installer is also represented via install.jamboxlive.com/?pid=52365&subid=26408&clickid=US1839937797. At the time of research, the hijacker was compatible only with Google Chrome, but it should be compatible with the Mozilla Firefox browser as well. Just in case you face this suspicious software on Firefox, we have added removal instructions that show how to eliminate it from both browsers. So, why should you delete this software? First and foremost, if it slithered in without your permission, you have no reason to trust it. Second, if it redirects you via feed.jamboxlive.com/?q=buy&publisher=jambox&barcodeid=523510000000000 to a third-party search engine (most likely, Yahoo Search), the results could be modified. Furthermore, unauthorized redirecting should always be considered as a malicious activity.
JamBox is meant to help you stream live radio stations from the browser, and Feed.Jamboxlive.com should make it easier for you to find your favorite radio stations. Well, if you add this extension to your browser, it will be able to track, read, and even change the data on all websites that you visit. Clearly, this extension is extremely intrusive, and if you do not want content modified, you need to think carefully if you can trust the add-on at all. The Privacy Policy supporting this suspicious software does not reveal anything scandalous, but it does mention that non-personally identifiable information is collected to check what kind of browser you use, what you language preferences are, what kinds of pages or advertisements you click on, and what your IP address is. If you do not want a suspicious search engine to track your virtual activity, you probably should delete it. The good news is that removing Jamboxlive.com and the extension it comes with is not difficult.
