Unfortunately, the web offers a rich variety of parasites and DNS Unblocker could serve as a back door to all of them. You should either get used to being constantly threatened by cyber infections or get rid of this virus on the spot.

How did I get infected with?

The distribution of adware infections could be summed up in only one word – stealth. Obviously, the pesky DNS Unblocker parasite is no exception. One of the most common ways to infiltrate computers is bundled freeware as it allows the virus to get installed without your permission. The worst thing about this technique is that at the end of the day you have no one to blame but yourself. Keep in mind that there is always the possibility of letting something malicious in without meaning to. How could you prevent that? Actually, it’s quite easy. Every time you install free programs, go for the Advanced or Custom option and pay close attention to everything in the bundle. You may notice some unwanted “bonus” program trying to sneak in. Now, you don’t have to install it, do you? Deselect what you don’t trust and make sure there is no intruder in the software package. Also, it’s highly recommended that you download programs from legitimate websites only because otherwise you might be involuntarily exposing your device to parasites. It’s very important to remember one thing – being extra cautious online is a must.

Why are these ads dangerous?

First and foremost, this thing will add a malicious extension to your browsers including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Then it injects all three of them with commercials and your entire PC screen will be piled under discounts, offers, “best prices”, various deals and price comparisons. You are inevitably going to be annoyed and just to make the situation a little bit worse, the ads are stubborn and hard to remove. Basically your browsing experience will quickly turn into an endless parade of pop-ups, pop-unders, in-texts and banners, so unless you want to waste your time dealing with commercials, you have to delete DNS Unblocker. Furthermore, the ads are potentially dangerous as most of them are fake and lead either to corrupted websites or syber scams. Honestly, both options are equally unpleasant. As hackers get paid to redirect you, that is exactly what they will do. What might happen to your computer afterwards, unfortunately, is completely irrelevant to them.
