Multiple Programs – BLOCKER.DLL

Blocker.dll installs with Acronis Privacy Suite. This program promises to remove adware and spyware and to clean your tracks after browsing the web. Blocker.dll is needed for this program's built-in popup blocker. So if you want this program to block popups for you, leave this file in place. More information can be found at http://www.acronis.com/enterprise/company/inpress/2004/03-26-epinions-privacyexpert.html.

Files called blocker.dll, zeropopupbar.dll and zeropopup.dll install with an adware program called ZeroPopUp. (Please note that this program is not related to the standalone popup blocker by Tooto Technologies.)

This adware program creates popup ads and hijacks web searches to its controlling server. It may download silently via an ActiveX control on a web page. Or it may have installed along with another adware program called TinyBar. More information can be found at http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/ZeroPopUp.html.

Because this is a short and common name, there may be other programs that use it.
