BlockIt is known to be adware that may show annoying pop-up ads containing discount coupons, sales, deals and offers when PC users are visiting online shopping websites or other well-known websites. BlockIt may be added into Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome Web browsers. BlockIt may commonly propagate and be installed on the PC as an optional application packaged with freeware that computer users can download from the Internet. When the computer user chooses to install any free application, it might involve additional toolbars, browser plug-ins and add-ons inserted in the installation package. They may be marked as extra tools, but if the PC user does not deselect the check box for inserting them, unwanted system changes may be made on the computer system. BlockIt may keep track of the PC user's Web browsing activity and send collected data for the intention of delivering targeted advertisements.
