Looking for a way to permanently remove ads in the browser for free without registration and SMS :)? He is. This is a simple and common plugin called Adblock. More precisely, there are not even one, but two popular versions of this extension, as well as several similar ad blockers. There are versions for the Yandex browser, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Safari and other less popular ones. If these extensions do not help, most likely, your computer is already infected with a virus, and in order to eliminate it, you will have to sweat, but first things first.
Browser ad blockers
There are several types of ad blockers. The most popular and easiest to use are undoubtedly Adblock and Adblock Plus. Also, there are less common, but no less effective: uBlock , Adguard , Ghostery , Privacy Badger , Disconnect .
Installing Adblock
The control is done using the button in the control panel and LMB (Left Mouse Click) and RMB (Right Mouse Click) on it. 
You can enable and disable certain types of ads, include sites in exclusion lists. All controls are easy and intuitive. You can turn off unwanted objects on the page.
The settings look like this
As you can see, the option to display unobtrusive ads is left by default. This means that ads that do not take up much space and are labeled "ads" will not be blocked. In principle, you can not change the settings, and everything will work as it should, as they say, out of the box.
Website: https://adblockplus.org/ru
Description: browser extension that completely blocks all annoying ads on websites, including Youtube and Facebook ads, share and like buttons, as well as spyware and malware software.
I’ll add on my own that there is a localization of the site into Russian, in contrast to the same. For me, it's about something, yes it says.
Supported Browsers:
- Chrome (on the WebKit engine: Yandex Browser, Google Chrome and the like)
- Mozilla Firefox
- Opera
- Internet Explorer

- Microsoft Edge
Have a mobile browser own production for Android and iOS - Adblock Browser.
Installation is also done in one click. As you can see, you can choose your browser from the list
Management and configuration is also done with the help of LMB and RMB on the button that will appear in the control panel (to the right of the URL input field) after installing the extension.
And here is what the settings look like from the inside
As you can see, in general, the essence is similar to Adblock: unobtrusive advertising is allowed, there are White list domains (the list of allowed domains, Adblock Plus is disabled for them). There are personal filters, where you can set your own parameters of what exactly needs to be blocked on sites (in general, an option for advanced users).
A warning has been issued that filter lists should not be too large, otherwise this can greatly slow down the browser.
In general, these are the two most popular ways to block inappropriate content on websites, and they are more than enough for almost all occasions. Use them and do not forget to include useful sites in the list of allowed domains.
Description: the original Adguard is a firewall with the ability to filter ads, prevent phishing at the network level, that is, incoming traffic is processed before it enters the browser. This is its advantage over Adblock and other browser extensions. It is possible to install the Mac version as well mobile android and iOS.
Adguard firewall is paid, but the cost is far from prohibitive, around a couple of hundred rubles a year. For this, you get a full-fledged commercial product with 24/7 support, ready to use right out of the box.
If you don't want to pay, there are extensions Adguard Anti-banner under different types browsers.

What can I say - Adguard in comparative tests with uBlock , Adblock , Adblock Plus proved to be far from the worst. Yes, and blocking ads in mobile, in my opinion, is a rather useful feature that is not provided at the proper level by far from all available free applications. And here, for a meager fee, a complete set with guaranteed service and support. In general, Adguard is an option for those who value their time and money.
Website: https://www.ublock.org/
Description: a relatively young, but very promising extension for blocking ads on the site. The main advantage of uBlock over Adguard, Adblock and Adblock Plus, its authors call a very low CPU load and memory consumption for the plugin. For clarity, comparison in memory consumption
As you can see, uBlock consumes almost no RAM, its level remains almost at the same level as in the absence of blockers
With the load on the processor, things are even more interesting
Here you can clearly see that uBlock leaves its competitors far behind. In general, if you use Adblock or Adblock Plus, and because of them your browser slows down, I advise you to try uBlock, maybe this is what you need
Supported Browsers:
- Chrome (Webkit: Google Chrome, Yandex Browser)
- Mozilla Firefox
- safari
Installation:
uBlock is very similar to Adblock and Adblock Plus - the same white list, the list of filters used, the ability to add your own. There is a possibility to import and export settings, so you can easily transfer all your settings to another machine and will not lose them when you reinstall the operating system.
Control is done with the help of LMB and RMB on the button that will appear in the browser control panel.
Setting: Third party filters - check RUS: BitBlock List and RUS: RU AdList .
After you need to update the filters (find the Update now button). Setup completed.
Another point - some sites have scripts in their arsenal to detect and bypass Adblock and Adblock Plus. uBlock has interesting mechanism Anti-Adblock Killer is a site detector with similar anti-blockers. With the help of this anti-block killer, uBlock finds such sites and forcibly removes ads on them. So, here's another plus for using this interesting plugin. Try.

If Adblock doesn't help
If you already have an ad blocker installed, but pop-up windows with annoying VKontakte ads and other nonsense have not disappeared, I have bad news for you - most likely you have caught a virus or a trojan. But, do not despair, for every problem there is a solution.
Alternatively, you can start scanning your computer with 2 free utilities from Kaspersky and Dr.Web:
And even if the usual antivirus did not help, you are likely to be able to help special utilities to combat Spyware, Mailware and similar evil spirits. One of these programs can be downloaded here - https://www.malwarebytes.org/products/ .
After the system is scanned, all suspicious objects are sent to quarantine. If by mistake useful files are sent there, they can be restored.
Also worth a look:
The above steps should be enough to fix the problems with pop-up ads.
How to Use Adblock Properly
As you know, advertising is the engine of trade, and without a market, we would be deprived of adequate prices for goods and services. Therefore, not all advertising is bad. In addition, advertising on the site is often the only source of income, due to which the site lives and develops, and there are many such on the Web. I understand that some webmasters, in pursuit of profit, forget about the limits of reason, covering the site with advertisements like Christmas tree garlands. Yes, there are doorway workers, and those who do not shun the spread of viruses and trojans, and here the adblock will definitely help you. But there are also some good, useful, non-intrusive ad sites that you visit regularly that grow and develop thanks to the ads you put on them. I'm not advocating to completely abandon the use of Adblock, but do not forget to add useful resources to the exclusion list of your ad blocker, thereby you will thank the authors for the effort spent on creating quality content.
Probably, it is not necessary to say that advertising in Android applets or in browsers when accessing the Internet inexpressibly irritates all users without exception. But after all, it is impossible to get rid of this scourge by the system's own means. So what to do? Ad blocking on Android systems can be done either using special programs or manually by changing one of the key system files.
Where do ads come from in Android apps?
Probably, every owner of an Android device thought about where so much garbage in the form of advertising comes from in programs. The answer to this question must be sought in the service itself. Google Play, from which, in most cases, mobile applications are downloaded and installed.
The situation is such that everything free apps, which are presented in the service, have built-in advertising. All!!! The only exceptions are paid programs. They don't have that garbage. But after all, not everyone wants (or can) pay a certain amount just to get rid of constantly pop-up messages and banners. But there is a way out. You need to use some kind of ad blocking application on Android, which can remove it from both installed applications and from the browser when the user surfs the Internet.
Types of advertising and ways to eliminate it
But before proceeding to consider how, for example, ad blocking is done in Chrome on Android or its elimination in installed applets, it is worth looking at what main types of it can be found.
Many experts, having analyzed all possible situations, tend to divide advertising into several main types:
- static or dynamic (pop-up) banners on top, bottom or full screen with a picture or video;
- built-in advertising directly in the program interface;
- advertising that appears after 2-3 days of using the application;
- "Useful" advertising, after viewing which the user receives some points, bonuses, coins, etc.
As for the methods of its elimination, in most cases, when installing additional applets, you must have superuser rights, otherwise you will not be able to achieve at least some significant result. But! It will not work - does not mean that it is impossible in principle. Blocking ads on "Android" without root-rights can also be done. We will dwell on this separately.
Incidentally, one of the most simple methods to prevent the appearance of ads in applications is downloading and installing them not from the Google Play service, but downloading their full counterparts in the form of APK files with subsequent installation from other sources. But the resources must be verified, otherwise no one will give a guarantee that you will not catch a virus somewhere. Programs on such sites in most cases are already free of ads, even in situations where the application requires constant access to the Internet to work correctly.
Ad blocker on Android: the most popular apps
On the Internet, you can now find quite a lot of software applets aimed at ridding the user of annoying banners and messages. Not all of them are equal. But in most cases, there are a few of the most powerful, popular and interesting applications:
- AdAway.
- Lucky Patcher.
- adfree.
- ad block.
- adguard.
- Adblock Browser, etc.
This list is interesting because the first three applications in without fail require root rights, the second three can work without them. Let's look at a few utilities. In principle, they all work on similar principles.
AdAway is the easiest app to use
Blocking ads on Android using this program is based on the automatic change of the hosts file.
After installing and launching the application, you need to use only two buttons. First you should tap on the file download button, and then on the button to disable ads. True, as it is already clear, the emergence of such programs is completely unprofitable for Google, so it is pointless to look for it in the Market. You will have to download from other sources and install manually.
AdBlock is a program for Android. Free ad blocker
As is probably clear from the name, this applet is a mobile version of a computer add-on for browsers, adapted to Android systems.
This utility, like Adblock Browser, which is a regular browser with a built-in blocker, is designed to be used as an add-on (extension) to all available browsers in the system. True, she has one drawback. If the system provides for the provision of root rights, the application will filter absolutely all traffic, and to block without them, you will additionally need to configure the proxy server settings. And please note that this application may not work on all devices and not all versions of the Android operating system.
Lucky Patcher - one-stop solution
Many experts believe that this application is the best program for blocking ads on Android. And it's not even about how it works.
The program itself is in some way a slightly modified analogue of the AdAway applet in terms of interface. However, its possibilities are much wider. In fact, the application is a whole complex-patcher for all occasions.
When programs are launched, it performs a full system scan, and distributes the results in the application category into several types, highlighting them in different colors:
- yellow - the application has been fixed and no further action is required;
- green - Google license verification required;
- blue - the presence of advertising.
Programs that cannot be patched are included in a separate section. By clicking on the desired application, the user receives an additional menu in which an action option is selected (removing ads, installing a patch, etc.).
AdFree is another simple tool
This program almost completely repeats the AdAway applet presented above.
It not only uses the same principle of changing the hosts file, but also the procedure for troubleshooting in the form of using the file download buttons and disabling ads.
Using manual mode
Blocking ads on Android in this case involves downloading a modified hosts file from the Internet or creating it on a computer using any text editor(for example, Notepad). It looks like the image below.
The original system file, in order to avoid trouble, you first need to rename (or make a backup copy of it), after which new object hosts to the etc directory, which can be located either in the system root or in the System directory, using file manager like Root Explorer. After that, it remains only to reboot the device and rejoice.
What to use?
As for the choice of the preferred method for getting rid of ads, it is difficult to advise something specific, since each program is focused on a certain type of task. However, if you have superuser rights, it is better to install LuckyPatcher (the application can be useful for other purposes as well). But in the best option to remove ads from both installed programs and the browser, optimal solution will be the installation of two applets, one of which will block the appearance of unwanted banners in applications, and the second will eliminate ads when surfing the Internet. For example, in addition to LuckyPatcher, you can install AdBlock. However, here the choice is up to the owner of the mobile device. As for downloading or manually creating the hosts file, this option can be used if suddenly (which is unlikely) nothing else helps.
The topic is very relevant today. removal of malware and virus ads. Today on the Internet it is very easy to pick up an infection that embeds ads in the browser, downloads and installs unnecessary programs, sets an unknown search engine by default, or sets the site to autorun. It is not uncommon to see all of these together. On this page, we will talk about the best utilities for removing malware, viruses and ads in the form of pop-ups and annoying sites.
AdwCleaner
Anti-Malware
Anti-Malware (mbam). A program to remove ads, malware, viruses, trojans.
It has a completely working free version that can be used forever without any trial periods, registrations and activations. The only difference from the paid license is that free version does not provide real-time real-time protection. You can only scan the system on demand.
Anti-Malware successfully removes viruses, trojans, malware, potentially unwanted programs. But it may miss some relatively harmless things like adware extensions, which AdwCleaner more successfully detects and removes.
HitmanPro
HitmanPro - malware, adware, winlocker removal tool
HitmanPro is famous for its wide profile and meticulousness. This utility uses two cloud-based antivirus engines at once to search for malware - Kaspersky and Bitdefender. Therefore, it finds even the newest threats. In my practice, there were cases when it was HitmanPro that removed malicious programs that were able to independently recover after being removed by other antiviruses. Also, the program has proven itself well when removing winlockers.
Contains special tool HitmanPro Kickstart, which allows you to disinfect the system if Windows is not healthy (for example, it does not boot or is blocked by ransomware). For information on how to create bootable media with HitmanPro Kickstart, see .
However, this utility is third on the list because it works for free only for 30 days. If the trial period has ended, then you can use HitmanPro on this computer only by purchasing a license and nothing else.
HijackThis
Good utility from well-known manufacturer anti-virus software from TrendMicro. Created to clean browsers from hijackers. To use the utility, it is highly desirable to have basic knowledge of what an extension, add-on, bho, hosts are. Inexperienced users can also use the program, but you should mark for deletion only those lines where a malicious element is clearly displayed - for example, the address of a hijacking site that you are tired of in your browser.
Summary
I would also like to say that it is far from always possible to remove malware using programs. This is especially true for traces of activity: when the malware itself has already been removed and there is no infection on the computer, such consequences may remain as corrupted browser shortcuts with incorrect paths, batch files that open an unwanted site, registry values prescribed by malware that open the site while loading. Such things quite often have to be cleaned manually. For example, if the shortcut is completely changed, then no utility will help restore it. Therefore, in especially severe cases, you will have to use a manual shortcut fix.
Adguard is an effective ad blocker for Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Yandex Browser and many others. In other words, this is a full-fledged Internet filter that is able to completely protect the user from any annoying ads that he sees on most of the Internet sites he visits. It's no secret that most webmasters value the time and nerves of their users, but there are those who cover all available places on the site with ads, making it not only unreadable, but also practically unopenable in the browser. To combat such aggressive advertising imposition and was a free version of the Adguard program has been created, which can be downloaded for free from our portal using the direct links below.
Brief characteristics of the software
The free trial version of Adguard has the following modules at its disposal:- anti-baner(blocks any banner ads, both dynamic and static ad units; more than 20 popular browsers are supported);
- Antiphishing(a complete algorithm for blocking dangerous sites of dubious origin and distributing malicious scripts);
- Parental control(an in-demand mechanism that ensures the safe use of the Internet by children, protecting them from unwanted information in the form of resources with erotic content and other adult content).
Additional attention deserves the fact that the program immediately after installation and launch starts its work automatically, without requiring settings from the user, and if you take into account the fact that anyone can download Adguard for free, then the value of such a program increases significantly.
Block ads in any browser
No matter how beautiful and mysterious the almost endless expanses of the Internet are, they pose no less dangers than interesting and useful materials. Therefore, many users, in order to travel through the spaces of the network quickly and safely, prefer to install specialized software on their PCs, which protects against many online problems. But what if such an ad blocker is installed for specific browsers and does not work for other software, is rarely updated...
In the case of Adguard things are really easier. This program does not require the installation of separate plugins and extensions, it is suitable for blocking ads on all known browsers without prior configuration - Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome, Yandex browser and other browsers will interact with it equally effectively. The same goes for search engines. Use the one that will be most convenient for you at the moment: Google, Rambler, Yandex, Yahoo and others.
Advantages of AdGuard:
- a nice bonus is the introduction of a new mechanism that closely monitors the RAM and tracks any phishing attempts to influence the integrity of your cash in online banking systems;
- pre-blocked ads in the browser from numerous sites greatly facilitates the loading of Internet pages, releasing part of the saved traffic for other needs of the operating system;
- an additional level of protection - the program is not blocked at all by common antiviruses and firewalls, thereby increasing the OS Windows security system by several times.
- the database of unreliable Internet sites of the program is constantly expanding. For its qualitative formation, developers, in addition to their own efforts, collaborate with such well-known sources as: Malware Domains, Google Safe Browsing and useful lists from Web of Trust. So Adguard easily recognizes almost all fraudulent and outright malicious resources, which are best avoided;
- a significant increase in performance when working with sites (you will immediately notice that most Internet pages begin to load much faster. This is because Adguard blocks commercials, oversized flickering banners that distract pop-up notifications even before the page itself opens in front of you).
- advanced parental control compared to competitors (after the setup procedure, you can be completely sure that your child will not encounter information harmful to his psyche. He simply will not be able to access a site that is dangerous for him, which will be immediately blocked. In addition , the software will instantly remove from the list of materials requested in the search engine, all links where the content contains profanity.If your smart kids suddenly decide to intentionally bypass the established restrictions, there is separate system passwords, which will not allow them to do this just like that);
- excellent support for the Russian language and the ability to purchase an extended version with additional functionality (purchase of a license key is required);
- cross-platform ( Free Adguard can be downloaded for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android devices).
The list of useful features of Adguard is not limited to the above advantages, because it also includes an anti-tracking function. It allows you to securely hide your IP address while surfing the web, prevents third-party cookies from harming your operating system and vigilantly guards your personal data from being leaked to the Internet (additional configuration required).
The developers should be thanked for creating such a simple and understandable interface, as well as for the moment it was easily stopped on your hard drive (we remind you that you can download Adguard for free in Russian using the links below).
Conclusion: and although the program will not be able to determine the cause if the browser opens by itself with ads (this is a consequence of the constant activity of viruses), however, Adguard will be able to help with how to permanently remove ads in the Yandex or Google browser one hundred percent. Therefore, if you want to browse sites without the annoying appearance of all kinds of uncontrolled notifications and even better protect your family from getting to know unwanted content, then this utility will help you fulfill your intention quickly and to the fullest.
