About Box Rock?

Box Rock is an ad-supported software program that is commonly distributed by third-party installers and download managers. Upon installation, this program integrates with popular web browsers such as Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox, injecting various forms of advertisements into the web pages visited by the user. These ads manifest as full banner advertisements and text hyperlinks, seamlessly integrated within the existing HTML content. The software is capable of inserting ads within whitespace or by overwriting existing page ads, completely independent of the website's content. Additionally, it tailors the ads to the user's browsing behavior, tracks visited web pages, search terms, and domains.
