What is ShowBox?

The Malwarebytes research team has determined that ShowBox is a browser hijacker. These so-called "hijackers" manipulate your browser(s), for example to change your startpage or searchscopes, so that the affected browser visits their site or one of their choice. This one also displays advertisements.
This one uses deliberate misspelling in file and folder-names and misdated entries to avoid detection.

How do I know if my computer is affected by ShowBox?

You may see these or similar entries in your list of installed software:

and this warning:

and these browser extensions:

How did ShowBox get on my computer?

Browser hijackers use different methods for distributing themselves. This particular one was offered as a download manager.

How do I remove ShowBox?

Our program Malwarebytes Anti-Malware can detect and remove this potentially unwanted program.
  • Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to your desktop.
  • Double-click mbam-setup-version.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • At the end, be sure a check-mark is placed next to the following:
    • Enable free trial of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium
    • Launch Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
  • Then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, you will be prompted to download and install the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Scan Now. Or select the Threat Scan from the Scan menu.
  • When the scan is complete, make sure that all Threats are selected, and click Remove Selected.
  • Restart your computer when prompted to do so.
Is there anything else I need to do to get rid of ShowBox?
  • If you are using Chrome, you may have to remove the Extension manually under Tools > Settings > Extensions. Remove the checkmark and click on the bin behind the ShowBox entry.
  • The hijacker adds itself at the top of the list of search providers in Chrome. We will show you how to choose another one and change the startpage.
  • If you are using Opera you may have to change your startpage. We will show you how to choose another one and change the startpage.
  • You may have to delete the entries in your list of installed software manually. Read the additional guide for more information.
  • You can delete the Startup link from your Start Menu. Under "All Programs" open the "Startup" folder.Rightlick "Showbox" and choose "Delete". Click "Yes" in the confirmation box.
Look at the replies to this topic for the additional guides.

How would the full version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware help protect me?

We hope our application and this guide have helped you eradicate this hijacker.

As you can see below the full version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware would have protected you against the ShowBox hijacker. It would have warned you before the rogue could install itself, giving you a chance to stop it before it became too late.

How to remove Multiplug entries from your list of installed pograms

Since these entries are highly randomized and they are misdated on purpose they may be hard to find.
It is not a disaster if some remain behind, so if you are not sure it is better to leave them or ask for help.

In the "Control Panel" click on "Uninstall a program" under "Programs".
Select the offending entry and click on "Uninstall"

In these cases you may get one of these popups:

Read the text carefully, because clicking "Yes" may get you a new set of browser extensions.
