YTBlockerApp

YTBlockerApp is an adware application because it is known to display various commercial advertisements. The confusing thing about this application is that technically it is supposed to BLOCK commercial ads especially when you access YouTube. After all, that is in its name – YTBLOCKERApp. However, the application does nothing of the kind, and it is important that you remove YTBlockerApp from your computer along with other unwanted applications, before it results in malware infection or other undesirable consequences. It may seem that YTBlockerApp is a harmless application, but the truth is that big problems usually start from the little ones.

According to our research, YTBlockerApp is directly related to TUbeItAdBlockApp adware application. Both of them have non-functional home page where the download is not available and both exhibit similar installation symptoms. The main website for YTBlockerApp can be accessed at ytblockerapp.in. It actually looks very similar to TUbeItAdBlockApp’s website at tubeitadblockapp.in. The main common point is that the websites provide you with little to no information on the application, and there is obviously no download link available.

Whenever the main home page does not provide a download link, and the application still gets distributed around the Internet, it is clear that it gets downloaded bundled with freeware. YTBlockerApp is of no exception as well. Just like YouTubeAdBlocker and other similar applications, YTBlockerApp may also be distributed bundled with fake Flash Player updates or fake JAVA downloads. Keep in mind, that by installing updates via third party you always risk your computer security, because third party applications and installers are always full of adware.

It means that basically you are the one responsible for having YTBlockerApp installed on your computer. Also, take note that this adware application may have a name generated at random, thus whether you have YTBlockerApp, YTBlocKeRApp, TYBluockerApp, TYBlockaerApP, YTuBlouCkerrApP or anything similar, it is very likely that it is still the same application installed on your PC. The program installs extensions on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. However, if you want to uninstall YTBlockerApp, you will need to remove the application from Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome manually.

It is not safe to keep YTBlockerApp on your computer, because such applications are vulnerable to third party exploitation and consequently they might as well leak your personally non-identifiable to affiliated parties or expose you to unsafe content. The sooner you remove YTBlockerApp the better, and when you are done with manual removal, scan your computer with SpyHunter free scanner to check if you have any other potentially unwanted programs left to remove.

    The reason this extension is so bad is because it cannot be removed in Chrome! So this does not help at all.
