Lock advertising, or how to make your Internet cleaner?

If you are an experienced user, then almost certainly remember how the Internet looked like a few years ago. Then it was really a data warehouse, in which almost any information could be found.

As time passed, people began to look for ways to earn money on the vast web. The desires of such users quickly responded to advertisers who gladly started paying for the placement on their personal page of advertising. It has become so popular that blocking advertising at the moment is mandatory for everyone who does not want to go crazy when looking at tons of advertising debris posted on the page.

How can you make viewing pages more pleasant and useful? The most radical and decisive way is a complete ban on displaying pictures in the browser. Unfortunately, 100% guarantee such a blocking of advertising does not give, and most of the useful information you easily miss. How to be? After all, it's impossible to look at obsessive and disgusted production of advertising companies!

To help your grief can any more or less decent antivirus program. The fact is that such applications have recently learned to block most of all advertising links and images, reliably protecting users from them. For example, Kaspersky Anti-Virus can boast of such a function.

In addition, programs for blocking advertising are included in many modern firewalls. Especially successful in this regard can be considered products from Agnitum. Having installed their firewall on a computer, you will forget about most of the advertising tinsel.

However, for the struggle with obsessive producers, specialized applications have long existed. Among them is AdMuncher. A funny cow, constantly hanging in the tray, not only "squeezes" most of the advertising, but also saves your traffic.

Unfortunately, all these programs have one big minus. All of them are paid. Of course, their cost is quite decent, but for most of our users and these amounts seem very tangible. However, even in such a situation there is a way out, even if one does not resort to using stolen products. This applies to users of the Firefox browser, although recently there was such a blocking of advertising in Google Chrome. This is a remarkable extension for these browsers called AdBlock.

Its main value is not even in free-of-charge, but that the add-on excellently blocks ad units. And not only banal banners and pop-ups! Under the impact of the program gets flash-animation, gif-videos and even some of the contextual advertising content! In a word, ad blocking works so reliably that you will soon be horrified to remember how the pages of the Global Web actually look ...

What is the danger of such advertising banners? The thing is that under them often are disguised various malicious programs, which on the Internet today is very, very much. The usual pop-up window most often leads not to the site of a bona fide manufacturer (which will not go down to such dirty tricks), but to the doorway where your computer is almost certainly trying to hook up a virus or Trojan program. So blocking advertising is an important element in ensuring computer security.
