Genius Box is a browser add-on that was developed by TGF Interactive LLC. Genius Box declares to be a great program that can totally enhance web users' browsing experience. Genius Box gives quick access to most visited websites such as Facebook, Youtube and others, and also declares to give computer users the most related search results from their favorite websites without having to open additional windows/tabs or making same searches on each website. However, in reality, Genius Box can lead to many irritating actions on the compromised PC and even set the hijacked Internet user's security in danger. Genius Box is able to trace the target PC user's online activity and record this information. Later this information can be sold by Genius Box to the third parties which are using such data for marketing purposes. Genius Box can even disclose the victimized PC user's usernames and passwords which means it can obtain access to the attacked computer user's personal information. Genius Box leads to repeated hits to dubious websites when PC users are striving to make an online search or visit a particular website. Genius Box also substitutes the default homepage and default search engine with doubtful advertising websites.
