PBlock+

Ad-blockers and pop-up blockers have become a vital add-on for any Web browser. However, more and more websites are looking for ways to serve advertisements to users of such software. This is why many Internet users continue to experiment with different types of ad-blockers. One of the ad-blocking add-ons to grow in popularity recently is called PBlock+, and it is suited to the Google Chrome Web browser only.

Unfortunately, PBlock+ is not a solution to unsolicited online advertisements. Instead of providing you with an ad-free Web browsing experience, this extension will display its own advertisements on top of the advertisements you would see usually. Basically, this makes the add-on useless for you, and, in fact, it may end up causing more trouble since PBlock+'s advertisements may often link to non-trustworthy websites and content.

The PBlock+ add-on is not available on the official Google Chrome Store, and this is probably owed to the fact that its authors could not manage to go through Google's security measures. While the PBlock+ add-on is not unsafe, its functionality is intrusive, and it may be promoted via low-quality advertisements and pop-ups. For example, many users were asked to download the PBlock+ extension while trying to download files from a low-quality hosting service.

If you recall installing the PBlock+ extension recently, then you should certainly take the required steps to ensure its removal. This adware has no redeemable qualities, and you should handle its removal by running an up-to-date computer security scanner.
