Remove BlockScanner, BlockScanner Removal Instructions
By Luciana on November 2, 2009 | Rogue Antispyware
BlockScanner is not a real security program, it's a rogue tool made to look like a real thing, however, it is not. Although Block Scanner might try to convince the user that it is built for security and protection purposes, it actually violates the existing system security and makes it accessible for other malware.
BlockScanner usually enters the computer with the help of trojans employed by corrupt websites which promote this program. In order to prevent Block Scanner and other similar applications from infecting your machine you should acquire a real system protection tool which is built for stopping such programs like BlockScanner. It is dangerous to fall into the Block Scanner trap as it might cause some serious system errors or even damage resulting in system dysfunctions or crash. BlockScanner also costs money, so paying for this application is not a smart usage of one's finance. The only way to treat Block Scanner is to remove it by following the instructions provided bellow.
