The DragonBoost program may be spotted in free software packages under the 'Custom Installation' option. You may be invited to install DragonBoost as a shopping helper that is said to generate deals and offers with lower prices regarding products you browse on online stores. The DragonBoost program may not be deemed as a reliable shopping helper because it is reported to flood users with advertisements and unsolicited marketing materials. Cyber security experts categorize DragonBoost as adware that you might be invited to install along with other adware such as InterStat and riskware like CpuMiner. The DragonBoost adware may affect browsers like Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera. Security experts add that the DragonBoost adware may attempt to change the layout of your new tab page and add links to sponsored content.

We do not recommend users to ignore the ads by DragonBoost and redirects that may be caused by the adware. DragonBoost may lead users to insecure online stores, promote faulty goods, redirect users to phishing pages and welcome you to link your social media profile to an advertising network. It is not a good idea to allow the DragonBoost adware access your profile on social media and post on your behalf. The services provided via DragonBoost may not be secure, and you may be shown misleading messages and media content. Programs such as DragonBoost and Adware Helpers may not come with an uninstaller and be listed in the 'Programs and Features' module of the 'Control Panel.' Adware can run in portable mode, and users may have difficulties finding the correct desktop app and browser add-on that is used to generate ads on your screen. DragonBoost is a common adware that may collect information like your Internet history, keywords on Google, and the downloads log to facilitate the display of tailor-suited commercials. PC users may want to remove all data related to the DragonBoost with the assistance of a reliable anti-spyware solution.
