Remove Extreme Blocker

Extreme Blocker is an advertising software that counts on people being too distracted to install itself into their computers. Extreme Blocker describes itself as an ad blocker, funny since in reality it’s quite the opposite.

From the very first moment Extreme Blocker is installed in your computer, it will start showing ads non-stop. This is what it was designed for, as well as spying and collecting data about yourself and the way you surf the net.

Extreme Blocker‘s ads can be seen literally everywhere, they can insert themselves directly into the content of every website visited (banners, underlined words, pop-ups), or by opening new tabs and windows every time you click on something. Usually these ads are seen with the tag Ads by Extreme Blocker or Powered by Extreme Blocker. 

If your computer has been infected with Extreme Blocker, everything you do is being constantly watched, because this infection makes sure to collect data such as your OS version, IP address, where you are, details concerning your browser, your searches and visited websites; all of them useful to identify you personally.

Extreme Blocker as many other adware is installed at the same time as some other software, most likely fake video players found in streaming websites, fake updates for Java or Flash, or software found in popular download platforms such as download.com, softonic.com, soft32.com, etc… they win a commission every time Extreme Blocker is installed successfully.

It’s quite possible to find an official website for Extreme Blocker, however it’s not even possible to download the software there. This website is only there to publish Extreme Blocker’s conditions of use; conditions that you have accepted willingly although probably without knowing it.
