MusicBox Live Extension

The MusicBox Live Extension that you may be suggested to install as a part of a freeware bundle is considered to be a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by some and adware by others. The MusicBox Live Extension is said to come from a publisher known as Musicboxlive.byinmind.com that listed the application under the 'Search Tools' category in the Chrome Web Store. The MusicBox Live Extension can be downloaded from hxxps://chrome.google[.]com/webstore/detail/musicbox-live/oabfdmkjiidccknjikeoaefipopkdomm and may appear to provide users with a custom new tab that incorporates music feeds from various artists. However, you should consider that the program requires the following rights in Chrome:

• Read and change all your data on the websites you visit.
• Replace the page you see when opening a new tab.
• Manage your apps, extensions and themes.

Also, the newest version of the 'MusicBox Live' that we tested at the time of writing redirects PC users to hxxxp://www.musicbox-live[.]com/?appid=0&gct=hp&o=APN10516&sysid=609&qrsc=2871&l=dis&sver=3&dateOfInstall=2018-07-10&d=609-0&v=1.1.1-1865-0&apn_ptnrs=AGF and then performs another redirect to a dead domain at hxxp://musicbox-live[.]com/?reqp=1&reqr=. The MusicBox Live Extension is not deemed as a reliable music service provider, and it is not associated with legitimate platforms like Pandora, Spotify and Last.fm. The MusicBox Live Extension might change your default new tab page to a dead page and may fail to deliver the music content you seek. The MusicBox Live Extension is ad-supported, and it makes calls to CMS (Content Management Systems) associated with the distribution of promotional materials. You may see sponsored search results on Google that are facilitated by the 'MusicBox Live.' Web surfers that are looking for a good new tab replacement with integrated music feeds might not like to keep the MusicBox Live Extension and wish to remove it using a trustworthy anti-spyware scanner.
