Can’t Remove GamesBlox ads? This page includes detailed ads by GamesBlox Removal instructions!

GamesBlox is supposed to provide you with tons of fun games. Do you know what is not fun? Dealing with worthless, annoying, potentially corrupted pop-up ads on every website you visit. And yet, that is exactly what this program will actually bring upon you. It goes without saying that GamesBlox is not the amazing gaming platform you were originally promised. This pest is an adware-type infection and a potentially unwanted program. Since the very minute it managed to slither itself on board till the very minute your patience runs out and you delete the virus, GamesBlox will be causing trouble. Adware is considered to be the least problematic type of infection out there. Of course, that doesn’t mean this parasite is safe. We have never come across a harmless PC infection and, chances are, neither have you. GamesBlox only becomes more and more problematic as time passes. Don’t be tricked by its innocuous facade; GamesBlox is perfectly capable of causing you irreversible damage. Ignoring the problem instead of fixing it on the spot is a terrible mistake and you know it. Therefore, do the right thing concerning your own security. Uninstall the parasite and make sure you do so quickly. As mentioned, GamesBlox gets activated immediately after installation. You will notice various unauthorized changes of your browser settings, including some additional toolbars that get installed behind your back. No, GamesBlox doesn’t bother to ask for your permission before it takes complete control over your browsers. Once their settings get modified, you can no longer trust any web link you see on the PC screen. Your browsers now serve hackers’ malicious purposes and believe us when we say hackers’ plans greatly mismatch yours. By bombarding you with pop-ups, crooks actually gain profit online. They use the pay-per-click mechanism or some similar highly questionable monetizing technique so you’re practically helping crooks make money just by keeping GamesBlox on board. Is sponsoring cyber criminals really what you’re aiming for online? If not, don’t hesitate to delete the parasite. Keep in mind that all the GamesBlox ads that you currently see are sponsored. That includes all pop-ups, pop-unders, banners, interstitials, video ads, etc. Any of those might be leading straight to malware because the GamesBlox commercials are only meant to help hackers gain profit. They were never meant to help you save time or money while shopping online. Don’t be gullible. In addition to the deceiving parade of ads, GamesBlox also spies on your browsing-related activities. As you could imagine, thanks to this nuisance, your private life online is no longer private. Hackers now have free access to your browsing history, search queries, usernames, passwords, IP addresses, etc. so they could sell your information to third parties. The parasite may even attempt to collect some immensely private, utterly sensitive data as well. Identity theft may not be a particularly common scenario but it’s definitely not a threat to be taken lightly.

How did I get infected with?

To begin with, GamesBlox probably invaded your PC without your permission. Adware usually travels Web in complete silence and leaves you oblivious to the fact your machine gets infected. The virus might have been attached to some dangerous spam email/message that you were negligent enough to click open. Another popular infiltration technique is freeware/shareware bundling. Now, remember that every single time you download questionable bundled programs off of the Internet, it’s highly recommended to check out the programs one by one. If there is a bonus virus hidden among the safe software, it’s your responsibility to deselect it on time. That’s what makes skipping installation steps so dangerous – you might also be skipping numerous opportunities to protect your machine from malware. Opt for the Advanced option instead of the Basic one and always pay close attention to the installation process. A single moment of haste online is more than enough to compromise your PC with all kinds of infections imaginable.

Why are these ads dangerous?

For one thing, the GamesBlox ads get generated by a nasty PC parasite. There is simply no plausible scenario in which they are harmless. GamesBlox installs a malicious browser extension or an add-on that works just fine with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. All your browsers now display unreliable, potentially dangerous commercials. Apart from the obvious fact you can’t even surf the Web at peace as the pop-ups are constantly disturbing you, GamesBlox also exposes you directly to malware. You’re one click aware from infections as long as your machine is compromised. The virus aggressively redirects you, serves as a back door to more viruses and slows down the overall PC speed significantly. It also causes numerous privacy issues and annoys you on a daily basis. To sum up, GamesBlox is not something you need on your computer. If you want to delete this pest manually, please follow the comprehensive removal guide you will find down below.
