Simple Adblock

If you are a computer user who likes surfing the web every day, then you have probably noticed all those annoying ads included in some websites. These ads not only take more bandwidth than normal, but some of them are malicious and may represent a threat for the personal data of the user. That's why blocking them may seem like a very good idea. But, in this case, a question arises, how to stop ads from showing on web pages. If you are trying to find the answer in Internet Explorer, then you are looking in the wrong place. This browser has a pop-up blocker but not an ad blocker.

Simple Adblock is the solution, being an add-on for Internet Explorer. The program can efficiently remove any type of ads from various websites. Because it's compatible with Internet Explorer, Simple Adblock can, of course, run on Windows. To be more precise, all versions ranging from Internet Explorer 7 up to the latest version can be used together with Simple Adblock.

After running the intuitive and simple installation process, Simple Adblock will place an icon in the status bar of Internet Explorer. Clicking on it will open a menu from where one can activate or deactivate the blocking function. There is also a configuration page available, that allows the user to select his country from a large list. Doing so will enable Simple Adblock to block ads more efficiently when browsing to local websites.

There is an option included in Simple Adblock that can automatically report any bugs or problems to the developer. Using this feature involves entering the email address of the user. After activating the ad filter, one can browse the web as he would normally would. He will soon notice that ads will be replaced by an empty space. This is a great help in case of malicious websites, that use ads for infecting the user's computer with viruses and spyware.
