Examples include Video Player, Free FLV Converter, and Media Player Enhance. YoutubeAdblocker is similar to other adware, which infiltrates browsers through freeware downloads. To avoid further damage by poorly-programmed adware, eliminate this potentially unwanted application from your Internet browser/s. At time of research, this adware was distributed using deceptive free software 'download clients', which trick Internet users into installing YoutubeAdblocker without their consent. This unwanted tracking can result in serious privacy issues or identity theft. Clicking ads displayed by YoutubeAdblocker can result in high-risk malware infections.Īs well as generating deceptive ads, this bogus browser plugin tracks users' Internet browsing activity by recording IP addresses, unique identifier numbers, operating systems, browser information, URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries entered, and other software and hardware information.

This plugin does not block any ads, and moreover, generates intrusive third party ads ('Ads by YoutubeAdblocker') including, for example, banner, text, and pop-up advertisements. While such functionality may seem legitimate, this browser extension is categorized as adware or a potentially unwanted application.
