Beware of Netbox browser

I recently had a friend bring to my attention of a project much like brave but explaining that they paid just by leaving the browser open as a node. Well before I install anything I usually do some heavy digging on it. I found the site, found their linkedin (based in Russia, but no place specific) thinking this was odd I fired up a clean windows 10 vm and put sysinternals on it. I then downloaded the software. After examining if for awhile I have found it to silently start on start up... That's odd in itself... It also reaches out to chrome and just launches chrome and injects "ychrome_watcher.dll". If anyone knows more on this project please hit me up.

  1. This is nonsense!

    "ychrome_watcher.dll" is a Google's library.
