Vid Adblock

What is Vid Adblock?

Are you irritated by the ads that show up when you are watching videos on youtube.com? If you are, you might find Vid Adblock to be a very useful program. Unfortunately, the promise to block the ads is bogus and it is used only to help the developers of adware to spread unreliable ad-supported programs. Unfortunately, this particular ad-supported program has many clones - JoyNShop, DealForUse, and WorldWideCoupon to name a few. Even though not all of these programs offer to block ads, essentially, they are identical because they inject advertisements in the sites you visit. The research conducted by our Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers has revealed that these programs were developed using one single framework, known as Justplugit or Multiplug, which is why it is not that surprising that they are identical. Of course, you must be interested in the removal of Vid Adblock, so let’s get to it. Download Removal Tool100% FREE spyware scan and

How does Vid Adblock work?

Vid Adblock used to be represented via vidadblock.info; however, just like all of its clones, this adware is now spread via software bundles. The websites representing Justplugit adware were disabled or were never set up, and this is likely due to the fact that the developers of these programs want the users to know as little about them as possible. Due to the same reason, these programs have different names – or different versions of the same name, to be exact – and this stops many users from finding useful information about Vid Adblock or similar programs. Of course, computer users should research the software they want to install beforehand, but not all users are that careful. In fact, most users first learn about this adware unexpectedly when installing LightningDownloader or some other potentially unwanted program that might come bundled with Oursurfing.com and browser hijackers from the Websearch family. Needless to say, all programs associated with adware – whichever way they are associated – deserve your attention and, possibly, removal.

The reason our researchers identify Vid Adblock as a security threat is because this ad-supported program injects ads that belong to unreliable parties and that are hosted via unreliable adware servers. Even if the ads shown to you appear to be harmless, there are no guarantees that they will not expose you to phishing scams, drive-by download attacks, and cyber-criminal activity. If you are smart enough to want to avoid these risks, there is only one thing you need to do.
