Remove BrowseFox 3.0.0 by Yontoo Technology

This is a web browser extension and Browser helper Object (for Internet Explorer) that delivers contextual based advertising to the web browser. In addition it will modify the user's browser home and search pages as well as 'New Tab' pages to push advertising and search. The software acts as an adware type application and is typically defined as a unwanted application by various malware vendors. BrowseFox is distributed by a number of bundleware vendors including FIRSERIA and CoolMirage Ltd. through shady download sites including down324.com, fakdmr.com and hd-plugins.com just to name a few.

It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. It adds a Browser Helper Object (BHO) to Internet Explorer. The main program executable is BrowseFoxBHO.dll. Typically most users end up uninstalling this just after a few days. The software installer includes 15 files and is usually about 1.45 MB (1,522,425 bytes).
