Computer security experts that have examined JamBox Search have concluded that it is a browser hijacker. One of the most obvious facts proving that it is a shady program is the way it gets on your system. Just like many other unwanted pieces of software, it usually finds its way on your computer through bundled freeware that you might download from untrustworthy sources. Many such bundles don't disclose all the software that they will install on your PC adequately, and the JamBox Search browser hijacker can be installed without your knowledge.

Once you get the JamBox Search browser hijacker on your system, it will take over the Internet browsers that it detects, such as Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Firefox. The JamBox Search browser hijacker will then introduce series of changes to the settings of your Web browser, which include changing the new tab page, the default search provider and the homepage. It also will attempt to install extensions that can harm your computer covertly and may prove to be hard to remove.

These are just some of the harmful things that the JamBox Search browser hijacker may do and hinder your Internet experience, making it difficult for you to find what you are searching for. Meanwhile, it also will throw a barrage of ads and unwanted links to advertising pages in your way. This may lead you to pages where you can get infected with even more harmful software. While it is redirecting you to the search results, it will display one of the following messages: 'Transferring data from feed.jamboxlive.com,' 'Waiting for feed.jamboxlive.com,' 'Read feed.jamboxlive.com,' 'Looking up feed.jamboxlive.com' and 'Connected to feed.jamboxlive.com.'

Apart from all this, some browser hijackers are capable of monitoring and gathering browsing information about you. This is why it is recommended that you try to do your best to protect your PC from such unwanted and potentially harmful software, and use proper protection and removal tools.
