    YouBoost is a potentially unwanted program that is bundled with free software you download from the Internet. Once running, YouBoost will donwload and use custom built Chrome browser called ChromeEx that constantly connects to various sites on the Internet. When it connects to these sites, YouBoost will display these page, including advertisements and videos, in the background so you do not see it on your screen. This constant downloading of web pages does nothing but slow down your computer and your Internet connection while providing no benefit to the user of the computer.

    This program's web site states that it is designed to optimize the download speed of media files:
    Enhance your multimedia files download speed by utilizing YouBoost's ad supported media compression engine.
    For the advertisers or clients of this company, this may be beneficial, but it provides absolutely no benefit to the computer that it is installed on.
    Their website also states that this program is ad supported, but when using the program we did not see any YouBoost ads. The only activity we saw was its constant connection to sites to watch videos and display advertisements.
    You-Boost does not create any Start Menu shortcuts or Desktop icons. In fact, the only way you would know it's installed is that you may find it listed in the Uninstall Programs control panel or see the ybint.exe processes in the Windows Task Manager. What you will notice, though, are the following symptoms:
    • Your computer will run very slow.
    • Your computer's CPU utilization will be close to 50%
    • You will find tasks called ybint.exe running in Task Manager that use a large amount of CPU power. These processes will have a description called You-Boost Media Accelerator by a company called You-Boost Inc.
    • Applications and Windows will freeze.
    • Your Internet will become slower.

    Without a doubt, YouBoost uses up your computer's resources without your permission or knowledge. It is therefore important to remove this program so that your computer runs properly again. Furthermore, if this program is installed on your computer there is a very good chance that other unwanted programs are installed as well. Please use this guide to remove all remnants of the YouBoost PUP and any other related programs.
