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

TheAdBlock bears quite the misleading name. Contrary to what you might be thinking, TheAdBlock is not a tool that blocks ads. In fact, it is a tool that floods you with them. That’s right. This application is classified as a potentially unwanted adware program. As soon as it slithers its way into your system, it commences a bombardment of pop-up ads, which appear every single time you try to use your browser. Aside from getting really annoying, really fast, the presence of the ads also leads to frequent system crashes and a slower PC performance. The only way, to stop the ads from popping up, is to get rid of the application altogether. If you choose not to, and allow it to remain in your system, you’ll regret it. There’s a whole bundle of troubles TheAdBlock will cause you, and the pop-ups will be the least of your worries. The worst issue, you’ll be faced with due to the malevolent intrusive program, is the fact that it jeopardizes your computer’s safety. Not to mention, your personal safety, as well. Do yourself a favor, and delete TheAdBlock as soon as you realize it has invaded your PC. You won’t regret it.

How did I get infected with?

TheAdBlock resorts to the usual antics when it comes to sneaking in your system undetected. It’s, in fact, so resourceful at tricking you into approving its install that, not only do you allow it in, but you also have no idea that you did. The application’s preferred method of infection is through freeware as it provides possibly the easiest way in. That’s because most users are not nearly as attentive as they should be during its installation and rush the whole process. Instead of reading the terms and conditions carefully, they just agree to everything in haste. They quickly find out the error of their ways when the issues start popping up. And there’s a whole bunch of them. Some of the program’s other methods of invasion include the use of spam email attachments, corrupted links, and websites. It can also pose as a bogus system or program update. Even though these methods seem prolific, they share a common trait – they all pray on your distraction. If you’re a bit more attentive, maybe you’ll avoid getting stuck with adware like TheAdBlock.

Why are these ads dangerous?

TheAdBlock is an ad-supported application. That means that if it wishes to continue its operations, the tool has to generate web traffic and produce pay-per-click revenue for the third parties behind it. That’s why the program floods you with so many pop-ups. Every ad, you are tricked into clicking on, is profit for these individuals. However, it is NOT recommended clicking on the pop-ups as they are highly unreliable. Even a single click on a single ad can lead to more malware getting installed on your computer. And if one malicious application can cause so much trouble, just imagine what five can do. Unfortunately, as was already mentioned, the ads won’t be your biggest issue. The most unfavorable one will be the fact that TheAdBlock puts your privacy in harm’s way. The program is designed to keep track of your browsing activities and catalog your every move. As soon as it collects enough information from you, it sends it to the unknown wicked people who support it. Are you willing to provide them with your personal and financial details? Don’t take such a risk, and remove TheAdBlock as soon as possible. It’s most certainly not worth keeping.
