BlockScanner looks like a poorly made security tool but its real purpose is intimidating people into purchasing useless program. The only way Block Scanner differs from its previous versions is the name on the logo. If you take a look at SoftBarrier or ShieldSafeness, you will see that they are all identical applications.
BlockScanner delivers annoying security alerts. They are meant to scare people into thinking the system is badly compromised. If clicked upon, the pop-ups urge to pay for using the tool. The demand is ironical because Block Scanner is installed without users’ permission. Don’t trust notifications loaded by this fraudulent program!
