MusicBox Live Extension

The MusicBox Live Extension is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) whose installation is likely to bring undesired changes to your Web browser's configuration. Users might be tempted to install the MusicBox Live Extension because it might promise to provide them with access to convenient features that would allow them to discover new music online, as well as to stream their favorite songs while they are browsing the Web. Unfortunately, users who install the MusicBox Live Extension might not receive what they were promised and, instead, the add-on might bring annoying changes that are likely to have a negative impact on the user's Web browsing habits.

One of the changes that the MusicBox Live Extension makes as soon as it is installed is to replace the default Web browser's new tab page with Musicbox-live.com – a website that appears to be offline at the time of writing this article. However, judging by the screenshots published on the MusicBox Live Extension's Chrome Store page, it seems that the new tab page is meant to serve as a simple search engine, which also contains links to online music-streaming services and news outlets that focus on the music industry.

The MusicBox Live Extension is certainly not one of the most useful add-ons you can opt to install and, in general, we advise our readers to keep their distance from browser extensions that demand to replace the default new tab or search aggregator. If you have installed the MusicBox Live Extension and are unsatisfied with what it has to offer, then we suggest that you proceed to remove it either manually or with the assistance of a suitable PC security tool.
