Ekoblock is a Potentially Unwanted Application that computer users may have mistakenly allowed to be installed by the loading of random freeware or bundled applications. Ekoblock is not a computer virus, but it does have the tendency to perform random actions that may be annoying to some computer users. Allowing the Ekoblock program to run on a system could cause unwanted redirects or loading of other web pages that have questionable content. Additionally, Ekoblock could end up changing the default home page setting to cause an alternate site to load up upon opening a new web browser window. Eliminating the Ekoblock program and its related components is essential to stop its activities on a system that has it installed. Performing removal of Ekoblock may take use of an updated anti-malware application.
