Further you should be careful as Ads by DNS Unblocker may try to install viruses on your computer. The Ads may even offer free downloads of software or other free stuff like wallpapers, screensavers etc. These files will almost certainly be infected with a virus. Other popular tricks including fake messages about missing plug-ins, bogus warnings about virus infestations or registry errors and more.
