It claims to have unique features like automatic detection, bandwidth monitoring, and usage limitation. Other similar products that we have tested also offer the same elements. Hence, we noticed that most of them are employing test-and-buy scheme, which we see as tactics to entice users into purchasing the full version of promoted application. Users get no benefits until Internet Booster is paid.
After detection of internet connection, this program shows an option to increase the performance.

Thus, if user choose to continue with the process, the program will pop-up its payment processing web page wherein users are required to fill-up all the fields including credit card information.
Being unsafe on revealing payment details is just one worry we are facing with Internet Booster. Added to that, this program is using malicious method to spread all over the internet. Internet Booster is typically packed to suspicious freeware and shareware.
