The boxes indicate raster images. If you get rid of them, you will most likely lose all fills in the artwork. Often this occurs when vector art uses transparency and then is flattened or simply saving to the EPS format can often cause artwork to be expanded and flattened in this manner.

Of course, you could remove them and then reset the fills as needed.

Remove them like you would remove anything - select it and hit the delete key.
