Well, to everyone: I have an anti-virus program, it popped up telling me I got a virus when I downloaded it, so that explains a lot, lol

To anyone who wants your viruses actually found, please use McAfee, lol it's the best.

does this mean that if we hav follow the instructions above and then the Block Checker will disappear from the add/remove programs? and i m recommending that we should delete the whole folder of block checker in the program files folder. is this ok??
