Do you know what Blockit Ads are?
Blockit is an advertisement supported program which is meant to guarantee secure web browsing on your Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera or Safari browsers. The tool has been designed to block websites related to adult content, and so there is no surprise that it is marketed for parents who want to protect their children. If you install the application, both children and adults will be exposed to a different kind of threat – third party advertisements. This is the main reason why we strongly suggest having Blockit Ads deleted. Do you know how to identify which advertisements belong to the program or how to remove them? This report explains it all.

Block-it.net is the official download page related to Blockit; however, the download button is inactive and does not allow you to install the application onto the computer. Blacklister and Shieldren are two more applications which are presented in the same manner and whose download links are inactive. In fact, all three applications share the same Privacy Policy and promote the same services. Why would someone create multiple versions of the same product? It is most likely that the developer of these applications has created them to provide third party advertisers with a larger advertising platform. If this is the case, there is no doubt that Blockit has been designed to serve third parties, not you.
