Did you reboot after uninstalling the program from Add Remove?
Note: most of these type program are highly questionable! Especially when you are reveling someone's email address to a 3rd party. Make sure you have permission to do so first.

i was able to delete the folder, and no more messages appeared
I have the exact same problem as you. I downloaded msn block checker, and now everytime i want to talk to someone it tells them to download blockchecker, and i cant stop it. I removed the program but the folder still remains in "program files" inside are two files, just like you, and when i try to deleat the folder the error tells me i can because block-checker.exe is in use.
How did you solve the problem, and help me to deleat the beast!!!!

The reason why you can't remove the program is becuase its being used by a process. To remove it rename the 2 files under block checker folder to some junk.
Reboot.
Then delete those files after the reboot.
That should work.
To completly get rid of it (optional)
Use hijack this to remove the block-checker.exe reg entry.

The tool must be run in Safe Mode. But like I said, I strongly recommend posting a HijackThis log in the Malware forum and a helper will help you with this...

<script language="JavaScript">

function RandomNumber(upper_limit)
{
return Math.round(upper_limit * Math.random());
}
//-->
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var upper_limit = 1000000;
document.write(RandomNumber(upper_limit) + ' Downloads');
//-->
</script>
To further more prove my point. Reload the page a few times and the number of downloads will magically change very quickly sometimes higher or lower.

Actually, it's quicker just to:Removing Block Checker
The reason why you can't remove the program is becuase its being used by a process. To remove it rename the 2 files under block checker folder to some junk.
Reboot.
Then delete those files after the reboot.
That should work.
To completly get rid of it (optional)
Use hijack this to remove the block-checker.exe reg entry.
rename the files
move them
delete what was originally "cssrs.exe" (possibly the wrong filename, but close enough)
open up the Windows Task Manager
close any processes called "cssrs.exe" or "block-checker.exe"
delete what was originally "block-checker.exe"
As far as I can tell, it's gone for good.

So, I shall tell you how to do it

1) Reboot your computer
2) Go into Safe Mode (if you don't know how.. search Google

3) Delete the entire file located C:/Program Files/Block Checker or wherever you installed it to.
4) Delete from recycle bin
5) Reboot pc as normal (not in safe mode)
6) Voila! It's gone!
You can only delete the file blockchecker in safe mode because it is not running. In normal mode, it is running and therefore you cant get rid of it (also you can make it so its not running :-\)
Hope that helps,
Chris

Please read the FAQ and post a thread in the Malware forum with your HijackThis log and someone will take a look at it.
It is quite possible that you may be infected with something even more dangerous OTHER than block-checker.
It would DEFINITELY be worth your while to post a log in the Malware Removal forum.
