Max AdBlock Removal Guide

Max AdBlock otherwise known as Maximum AdBlock is a very old extension for Mozilla Firefox, that is considered to be adware, and therefore, you should remove it. The extension is very old and has not received an update for the past 4 years. The extension is only compatible with very old versions of Firefox (should work on versions from 4.0 to 6.*). Due to the fact that Firefox updates automatically unless you turn the updates off it is very unlikely that your computer will become infected with Max AdBlock. The application is considered obsolete, but research has shown that this old extension can still display advertisements that are supplied by third parties. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss this application in greater detail.

The application is still featured on Mozilla’s website for browser extensions that you can download. The application’s description says that it is a community-based ad blocking tool that removes all ads from every page you visit. And it has a function that allows you to manually block unwanted content. This gem of an application has been developed by SecurityHeroes. The developer has a dedicated website, called Securityheroes.com but upon entering the website you will get redirected to Reversinglabs.com. ReversingLabs is actually a company that specializes in developing anti-malware applications, which are actually legitimate. We do not know if there is any connection between the two developers. In any case, SecurityHeroes appears to have had only one product, and the company is long gone now.

It is actually strange to see Max AdBlock on Mozilla’s website, because it is, as mentioned earlier, and adware-type program. Usually Mozilla is quick to remove such applications, once they are revealed to be unreliable. Obviously, the application uses deception, and trick users into installing an application that is supposed to block ads, but does completely the opposite. We do not know who is in control of this application and to what extent its advertisements are dangerous. For all we know, Max AdBlock might promote unreliable content that might infect your computer with malicious software. In addition to that, the application has the ability to collect information about you. Data such as browsing history, search queries, approximate geographical location, might be sent to the developers or whoever in charge of Max AdBlock now.

Those of you who have installed this application should delete it in a timely manner, even though the application is almost dead. It still could display unreliable advertisements that might infect your computer with malicious software, such as browser hijackers, adware, rogue programs, and various Trojans. We would like to inform you that our website has recently published an article regarding a deceptive adware application called Adblocker Premium, which is very aggressive. So, be careful what kind of Adblock application you use, because some of them are dangerous infection. We recommend using a reliable application, such as Adblock Plus, which can be downloaded from Adblockplus.org

We hope that the provided information was sufficient. It is clear that Max AdBlock is a real adware application that will not shield you from advertisements, but do completely the opposite. It is rather odd that this malicious application is still featured on Mozilla’s website. But it might have just fallen under the radar. WE recommend that you remove Max AdBlock and get yourself a real ad blocking application.
