How to Block FanBox
Although the blog-advertising concept behind FanBox sounds relatively legitimate and resourceful, FanBox is also known as spam. When an Internet surfer signs up for FanBox and gives the site permission to send emails, account holders may start to notice pop-up advertisements appearing in their browser, regardless of the browser's settings. They may also receive tons of unwanted, malicious emails. Blocking FanBox is the only way to get rid of the site, so you can take back control over your computer.

Tips & Warnings
Another great way to avoid receiving any more emails from FanBox is to avoid clicking the site's cancellation button to cancel your FanBox account. Since FanBox is a spamming site, clicking the cancellation link only verifies that your email address is functional. More emails will come once the address is verified.
