Posted: April 10, 2018

The Tower Blocks Chrome Extension promises to provide its users with access to a fun browser-based game where they can try to beat the developer's high score. However, what the authors of the Tower Blocks Chrome Extension might have forgotten to add to the description of their software product is that this add-on will connect to a remote server automatically to receive configuration settings, advertising content, and other data, which is likely to be used to insert advertisements in active Web browser windows.

While the Tower Blocks Chrome Extension does provide a working game in your Web browser, it also might become the reason why you will see an increased number of advertisements while browsing the Web. In general, it is recommended to stay away from the Tower Blocks Chrome Extension and similar dubious browser extensions, which don't have many downloads or a good reputation. The good news is that the Tower Blocks Chrome Extension can't cause any harmful issues so that having it on your computer should not be seen as an immediate threat. However, needless to say, the Tower Blocks Chrome Extension's removal is strongly recommended, and we advise you to do this task as soon as possible to avoid the annoying advertisements that this add-on is known to bring.

The removal of this extension can be completed manually by using Google Chrome's extension manager. However, if you do not wish to attempt to remove it manually, then you also could use a credible PC security scanner to identify and eliminate this Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP).
