Remove Boost Ads (adware uninstall guide)

How to get rid of Boost program? Boost is a new adware, which is very similar to PricePeep. There are some malicious links in the world wide web which are supposed to install PricePeep adware, yet, when the links are clicked and file is downloaded, the installer brings Boost adware into your PC. It thus becomes the integral component of all your available browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

The adware program called Boost has its own site called shopwithboost.com. The adware and its many ads come up when you visit any websites, not just commercial ones. So, whether you go to Walmart, Ebay, or CNN site, you might see these Boost ads and various banners that will be displayed in the bottom part of a visited page. When you click the ad, you will see the title of the pop-up window that will say “Shop with Boost by Jigsaw”. Obviously, Jigsaw is the name of the company responsible for Boost adware development and distribution.

So, let us clarify it again – how are these Boost ads displayed? There is a special advertisement banner in the bottom of each visited website, saying ‘Explore Related Products’. When you click the ads, you will see redirects to rd.bizrate.com or stat.dealtime.com, or bhphotovideo.com sites. They are both related to Boost adware, and may bring you some ads related to your queries, but surely not related to the very website you visit.

The main file of this program is called BoostUpdater.exe. There are other related files, such as shopwithboost.exe and boost.dll. It could be that this adware is not very well spread these days (and we are very happy about this fact).
