I wrote this article to help you remove Stoppblock.org. This Stoppblock.org removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Stoppblock.org is a dangerous domain. It indicates the presence of a cyber infection on your computer. Seeing this website means you are now stuck with a browser hijacker. Hijackers are annoying, secretive, aggressive and very harmful. Keeping one on board will bring you nothing but issues. Even though there are much more dangerous pests out there, a hijacker, if given enough time, could cause you some irreversible damage. Don’t sit around waiting for the situation to worsen. You have to act fast. Think of Stoppblock.org as a warning sign and as soon as you spot it, start looking for the hijacker`s hiding place. If you don’t take immediate measures, you are in for a myriad of problems.

The hijacker enters in complete silence, of course, but once in, it wastes no times to reveal itself to you. How? It starts meddling and messing with your default settings. Your browsers are its first target. They all get modified with a brand new extension. Due to this extension, which by the way works for Mozilla, Chrome, and Internet Explorer, you don’t have even one reliable browser to use. Moreover, your homepage and preferred search engine are now gone and Stoppblock.org is in their place. It goes without saying that your permission was not needed for these reshuffles. With the hijacker on board, your likes and preferences are not a priority as you are not the once in charge anymore. Also, the changes the pest makes cannot be changed back. You are stuck with them. That’s why you are now forced to use the Stoppblock.org search engine any time you want to use your browser.

You see this page all the time and you are constantly redirected back to it. However, this engine generates a huge amount of one specific category of search results – sponsored ones. It was never meant to be beneficial to you. It was only created to serve the crooks malicious purposes but you are the one to suffer from that. By generating sponsored links crooks boost traffic on specific pages and gain money via the pay-per-click method. This means that you become their sponsor only for keeping the hijacker in your system.

Also, sponsored links are dangerous and may lead you to pages full of malware. You may compromise your PC even more with a single click. The problem is that the engine shows you safe results as well and you cannot tell which are which unless you click. But clicking is too much of a risk with means you cannot use your PC at all while you have the hijacker. And yet, this is not all.

The parasite has more for you. It bombards with countless annoying advertisements on daily basis. Whatever you open you see ads. All kinds of them and they are just as dangerous and the search results you are shown. You have to stay away from everything the hijacker generates and this practically means not using your PC. Now that we mentioned it, your machine is also suffering due to the hijacker`s shenanigans. It is now slow as a snail, it crashes much more often, your browsers also freeze frequently and your previously strong Internet connection is nowhere to be found.

But somehow all of this pales in comparison with the security risk the hijacker poses. It threatens your privacy by spying on you and giving crooks access to your personal information. Imagine what could happen if these strangers with agendas get their greedy hand on your financial or identifiable details. You could fall victim to a financial scam or even an identity theft. Also, they won`t think twice before selling your data to third parties. Either way, you are in trouble. Delete the Stoppblock.org hijackers while you still can. To do so manually, use our detailed instruction at the end of this article.

How did you get stuck with this pest? Browser hijackers and all infections, in general, rely on your negligence to get it. They need your permission but as they cannot get it if they ask straightforward, they turn to trick and pray for your naivety. One of the most popular entering tactics is bundled software. Especially if you use unverified sources to download it and then don’t pay attention during the installation. With a bundled software, you get all the programs in the bundle and you may get a hijacker, or even a ransomware, as a “bonus”. You have to be on the alert during the whole time.

Don’t skip installation steps and don’t blindly agree to anything. Never miss the Terms and Conditions/EULA and always opt for the Advanced settings for the installments. They are more time consuming but they allow you to remove any program which you don’t want to get with the whole bundle. Being careless is basically helping threats to infect you. Be more vigilant. Avoid suspicious sites, emails, ads, torrents, etc. Get a good anti-virus program and always check to see if your machine it clean.
