Block Checker (MSN)
 

Do not download block checker from http://www.block-checker.com, it's a paint in the @r$ââ€Åà ‚¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ and takes a while to get rid of, it is of no use.

Re: Block Checker (MSN)

Re: Block Checker (MSN)

Re: Block Checker (MSN)

Re: Block Checker (MSN)
 

In Windows XP you can right click your task bar to get to task manager (it's in the list that pops up) or you can ctrl+alt+del to bring it up.
As to related programs you can always google the tasks you don't recognise.

Hey, My idiot brother downoaded block checker, and when i go to delete the block-checker.exe from Windows Task Manager - Processes, it just keeps on coming back as soon as i delete it. I deleted another reference to it, but this one wont seem to go away... :(

can anyone plz help?

Re: Block Checker (MSN)
 

Reboot your PC into safe mode (press F8 before the Windows logo has appeared). Then delete the block checker program using the control panel add/remove software options.

Re: Block Checker (MSN)
 

So what is Block Checker?

Re: Block Checker (MSN)
 

Think it's a tool that can in theory tell you wether the people on your MSN contact list are really offline or just blocking you from seeing their status. Last time I saw it though it was suffering severe server issues.

Re: Block Checker (MSN)
 

It's a pile of crap!

Re: Block Checker (MSN)
 

That kinda sums it up yes ;)

More information at McAfee http://uk.mcafee.com/virusInfo/defau...virus_k=135579 on this one. Nasty piece of adware, it seems.

One of the simplest ways to remove it apparently is to do a 'system restore' to the previous setup (assuming nothing has been installed since) and it should be gone.
