Adblocker Tool

This page aims to help you remove Adblocker Tool “Virus”. Our removal instructions work for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer, as well as every version of Windows.

Browser hijacker apps are a type of software which is known for its intrusive and irritating behavior. A browser hijacker is a piece of software similar to an extension for your Chrome, Opera, IE or Firefox browser but the difference between a hijacker app and a regular extension is that the former would most likely only get in the way and annoy you with its presence and activities rather than help you or benefit you in any way. Hijackers mostly tend to display nagging adverts inside the user’s browser and also enforce unwanted modifications to the browsing program. One example is when a hijacker puts a new search engine or homepage in your browser that replace the precious ones.

It’s likely that if you have an AdblockerTool app on your PC and in your browser you’d be subjected to page redirects to sites and pages that the hijacker is trying to promote. In some instances, the AdblockerTool software might even and you on some sketchy and obscure web location that might be hazardous for your PC’s safety. As you well know, there are all kinds of shady online locations and addresses out there and having a hijacker on your computer definitely increases the chances of accidentally landing on one such location/online address. This, in turn, increases the risk of getting your machine targeted by different kinds of insidious virus programs such as Ransomware, Trojan Horses and Rootkits, to name a few. All in all, it is better if you remove and uninstall any piece of software on your computer that might display hijacker-like traits. Otherwise, your browsing experience would surely decrease in quality and also the safety of your computer might get compromised. Below, we have posted a set of instructions arranged in a detailed guide manual that will show you how you could eliminate the Adblocker Tool “Virus” hijacker.

This is one of the newest hijacker pieces of software and since a lot of users out there are currently struggling with it, we’ve decided to offer our readers a reliable way of quickly getting rid of the undesirable software. In case you don’t want to use the guide, you can resort to the recommended removal tool that’s also available below and remove the hijacker with it.

Not viruses but still unwanted

Hijackers like Adblocker Tool are not as malicious and as dangerous as Trojans, Rootkits, Spyware or Ransomware viruses. In fact, many hijackers have their official sites and are generally legitimate pieces of software that aren’t illegal. This, however, doesn’t make them any more desirable. Some hijacker-like apps like Worldcoolnewz may actually come with some kind of function that the user might benefit from but the cons of keeping such software on your machine almost always outweigh the pros. Also, as we stated above, hijacker apps, despite not being actual viruses, could still prove to be a potential security hazard due to the uncontrolled generation of ads and page redirects. If you really want to ensure your computer doesn’t get invaded by some serious malware threat, you’d better see to the removal of Adblocker Tool in case this nagging app is currently inside your system. Otherwise, you could easily get linked to some sketchy online address where all kinds of nasty malware programs might be lurking. Also, one other unpleasant trait of some hijacker app is their telemetry data collection ability. This means that a software piece like Adblocker Tool might try to look through your browser history and monitor what pages you visit, what things you like online, what ads you click on and what searches you make in order to determine what your interests might be. Later, this data is used to display targeted ads on your screen. Naturally, many users and security experts see this as privacy violation and, in turn, as yet another reason why it’s better to remove Adblocker Tool and other hijackers from the computer.

Be careful what you’re installing on your PC

Users oftentimes tend to forget to look through the setup settings in a program installer which is how many of them get hijackers on their machines without realizing it. This is because many browser hijacker apps tend to get bundled with other software as “bonus” components. Of course, if the user doesn’t manually leave out the bundled element by unchecking it from the setup menu, the pesky app would get installed on the PC by default. This is why we highly recommend you always go for the Advanced setup options when installing some new program and from there make sure you always uncheck any added elements that you think could be unwanted on your PC.

Note that sometimes an app, especially a rogue one, may ask you to install something else or keep some of its data (such as settings files) on your PC – never agree to that when trying to delete a potentially rogue software. You need to make sure that everything is removed from your PC to get rid of the malware. Also, if you aren’t allowed to go through with the uninstallation, proceed with the guide, and try again after you’ve completed everything else.

• Uninstalling the rogue app
• Killing any rogue processes
