No-blocks.net Adware

What is no-block.net?

no-block.net is a rogue application that supposedly provides users with access to websites that are restricted in their own countries.

This functionality may appear legitimate and useful, however, no-block.net usually infiltrates systems without users' consent ("bundling" method). Furthermore, it delivers intrusive online advertisements and continually records various user/system information. Therefore, no-block.net is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and adware.

Following infiltration, no-block.net delivers pop-up, coupon, banner, and other similar advertisements. These are displayed using a "virtual layer" (a tool that enables placement of third party graphical content on any site) and, therefore, underlying content of visited websites is often concealed. This significantly diminishes the web browsing experience.

In addition, these ads might redirect to malicious websites and even accidental clicks can result in high-risk adware or malware infections. Be aware that users' web browsing activity is monitored, since no-block.net continually records IP addresses, URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, and other similar data.

This information might contain personal details that are shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse private data to generate revenue. Therefore, having an information-tracking app installed on your system can result in serious privacy issues or even identity theft. We strongly advise you to uninstall no-block.net adware immediately.

no-block.net is identical to no-stops.net, VidSqaure, Counterflix, DNS Unlocker, and a number of other adware-type applications. Research shows that adware is designed only to generate revenue for the developers. Claims to provide so-called 'useful features' are merely attempts to trick users to install.

In fact, adware-type applications provide no value for regular users - they collect personally identifiable information (which is later sold to third parties) and deliver intrusive online advertisements (via the "Pay Per Click" [PPC] advertising model).

How did no-block.net install on my computer?

This app is often distributed by employing a deceptive marketing method called "bundling" - stealth installation of third party applications with regular software/apps.

Developers hide bundled programs within the "Custom/Advanced" settings of the download or installation processes. Users often rush and skip this section, thereby exposing their systems to risk of various infections and compromising their privacy.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

There are two simple steps you should take to prevent this situation. Firstly, never rush when downloading and installing software. Select the "Custom/Advanced" settings and closely analyze each step. Secondly, cancel offers to download/install additional apps and never allow set-ups to modify options irrelevant to the installation.
