BlockWatcher (Block Watcher) is a dangerous rogue security application. BlockWatcher comes from the group of hackers that created and marketed the fake security programs known as WiniGuard, Soft Cop, Save Defense and others. BlockWatcher uses the same devious tactics to extort money from unsuspecting computer users as Soft Cop.

BlockWatcher is unable to detect or remove parasites despite the several fake popup messages that it displays attempting to warn computer users of detected threats. In addition to those popups, BlockWatcher will attempt to scan the computer it is installed on only to return falsified results. BlockWatcher is an un-trusted security program.
