Are you looking for a way to permanently remove ads from your browser for free without registration or SMS :)? He is. This is a simple and common plugin called Adblock. More precisely, there is not one, but two popular versions of this extension, as well as several ad blockers with similar functionality. 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 work hard, 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.
Adblock installation
Control occurs using a button in the control panel and LMB (Left Mouse Click) and RMB (Right Mouse Click) on it. 
You can enable or disable certain types of advertising, and include sites in exclusion lists. All controls are easy and intuitive. You can disable unwanted objects on the page.
The settings look like this
As you can see, by default the option to display unobtrusive advertising is left. This means that advertisements that do not take up a lot of space and are marked as “advertising” will not be blocked. In principle, you don’t have to change the settings, and everything will work as it should, as they say, out of the box.
Website: https://adblockplus.org/ru
Description: a browser extension that completely blocks all annoying advertising on websites, including advertising on Youtube and Facebook, sharing and liking buttons, as well as spyware and malware software.
On my own behalf, I’ll add that there is localization of the site into Russian, unlike the same. For me, this says something.
Supported Browsers:
- Chrome (on the WebKit engine: Yandex Browser, Google Chrome and the like)
- Mozilla Firefox
- Opera
- Internet Explorer
- Safari
- Maxthon
- Microsoft Edge
There is a mobile browser of our own production for Android and iOS - Adblock Browser.
Installation is also done in one click. As you can see, you can select your browser from the list
Control and configuration are also done using 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's 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 is a white list of domains (a list of allowed domains, for which Adblock Plus is disabled). There are personal filters, where you can set your own parameters for 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 it may significantly slow down the browser.
In general, these are the two most popular methods for blocking unwanted content on sites, 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 and prevent phishing at the network level, that is, incoming traffic is processed before it reaches the browser. This is its advantage over Adblock and other browser extensions. It is possible to install the Mac version, as well as Android and iOS mobile devices.
Adguard firewall is paid, but the cost is far from prohibitive, around a couple of hundred rubles per 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 Various types browsers.
Supported Browsers

What can we say - Adguard in comparative tests with uBlock, Adblock, Adblock Plus showed itself to be far from the worst. And blocking ads on mobile phones, in my opinion, is quite a useful feature, which is not provided at the proper level by all available ones. 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 a website. The main advantage of uBlock over Adguard, Adblock and Adblock Plus, its authors call the very low processor load and memory consumption for the plugin to work. 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
Things get even more interesting when it comes to CPU load.
Here it is clearly visible that uBlock leaves its competitors far behind. In general, if you use Adblock or Adblock Plus, and because of them your browser is slow, I advise you to try uBlock, it may be 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, list of filters used, the ability to add your own. It is possible to import and export settings, so you can easily transfer all your settings to another machine and will not lose them when reinstalling operating system.
Control is done using LMB and RMB on the button that will appear in the browser control panel.
Settings: Third-party filters - check RUS: BitBlock List and RUS: RU AdList.
Then you need to update the filters (find the Update Now button). The setup is complete.
Another point - some sites have scripts in their arsenal to detect and bypass Adblock and Adblock Plus. uBlock has an interesting Anti-Adblock Killer mechanism - it is a detector of sites with similar anti-blockers. With the help of this anti-block killer uBlock finds such sites and forcibly cuts out advertising on them. So, here's another plus for using this interesting plugin. Try it.
Description: the main task of the extension is to search and suppress hidden spy scripts built into the code of website pages, and suspicious objects. Also knows how to block aggressive advertising

If Adblock doesn't help
If you already have an ad blocker, but pop-up windows with annoying VKontakte ads and other nonsense have not disappeared, I have one for you bad news— most likely, you caught a virus or Trojan. But don’t despair, every problem has its own solution.
Alternatively, you can start scanning your computer with 2 free utilities, from Kaspersky and Dr.Web:
And even if a regular antivirus did not help, special utilities for combating Spyware, Mailware and similar evil spirits will probably be able to help you. One of these programs can be downloaded here - https://www.malwarebytes.org/products/.
After scanning the system, all suspicious objects are sent to quarantine. If useful files are sent there by mistake, they can be restored.
Also where to look:
The above measures should be enough to eliminate problems with pop-up advertising windows.
How to use Adblock correctly
As you know, advertising is the engine of trade, and without the market we would be deprived of adequate prices for goods and services. Therefore, not all advertising is bad. In addition, advertising on a site is often the only source of profit on which the site lives and develops, and there are many of them on the Internet. I understand that some webmasters, in pursuit of profit, forget about the boundaries of what is reasonable, plastering the site with advertising like Christmas tree garlands. Yes, there are doorway developers and those who do not shun the spread of viruses and Trojans, and here adblock will definitely help you. But there are also good, useful sites with unobtrusive advertising that you visit regularly, and which grow and develop thanks to the advertising placed on them. I’m not advocating that you completely stop using Adblock, but don’t forget to add useful resources to the exclusion list of your ad blocker, thereby thanking the authors for their efforts in creating quality content.
Hello! Nowadays, the problem of viruses is not very acute - most users already generally understand what can be opened and what is highly discouraged... and modern Windows 10 is already less vulnerable to malware. And what do most users use a computer for? — surf the Internet and watch a movie. But with browsers, not everything is so simple, so the issue of blocking ads in the browser is more relevant than ever before.
If you are interested in the issue of ad blocking... or you have started to notice ads where there were never any (and even worse if advertising is already popping up in the browser), then I can tell you with confidence that you are not alone, and I will try to explain to you how to get rid of this illness.
How to block ads in your browser - simple steps to a clean Internet
- Advertising, which was deliberately installed by the site owner, is the most common and easiest method of advertising to block.
- Crashing, infuriating advertising on all sites... pop-up windows, spontaneous opening of the browser, various casinos and other nonsense - it is much more difficult to treat, but it’s possible (the problem is that your computer is showing you ads)
Initially, I want to show the basic setting of ad blocking in the browser (if this does not help, then you most likely have advertising modules or AdWare as they are called).
Recognizing AdWare is quite simple - it is a pop-up flashy advertisement in the browser on all pages (for example, on Yandex a Vulcan casino may be advertised or a browser with advertising may open spontaneously).
It’s clear that this is not normal... so I want to tell you about a method for blocking Yandex Browser (now I use it myself and can recommend it to you). In the instructions we will look at universal options, which are suitable even for Internet Explorer or EDGE. Let's look at both paid and free extensions - don't switch, it will be interesting!
How to remove advertising in the Yandex browser
Do you know why I like the Yandex browser? — it contains a lot of useful things for a Russian-speaking user. In addition, there is a built-in ability to filter advertising using third party service AdGuard (I previously used AdBlock Plus, but after switching from Firefox to Ya.Browser there is no point in installing a third-party extension). Turns on this extension It’s elementary - open the menu and go to “Add-ons”... and turn on the “Adguard” extension.
By default, advertising from Yandex and Google will not be blocked (and even normal advertising there, sometimes even useful) - whether to disable it or not is up to you. On my own behalf, I would like to add that sometimes this is the only way for the author of a resource to earn money... after all, you need to pay for hosting, spend time writing posts like this one. Well, monetization is a great motivation to develop and fill your resource.
Well, that was a small lyrical digression - you can go to the extension settings and disable the “Allow search advertising and sites’ own promotions” option. This way you will completely disable all advertising on websites known to the extension.
ADGUARD is an excellent ad blocker for any browser
Since we are talking about ad blocking, it would be a crime not to talk about the wonderful AdGuard application. What if I told you that you can block ads not only in the browser, but also in various applications where they are often found? Skype, Viber, uTorrent - all these programs are popular and constantly annoying with ads, but AdGuard will automatically remove them all. You can download it from the official website...
AdGuard deserves a separate note, which I plan to write in the future, but for now a short overview of the capabilities
Installation is the same as everywhere else, nothing new was invented... however, I would advise not to install recommended products (well, if we want, we’ll install it ourselves, I don’t like this intrusiveness)
What to tell about best app to block ads on your computer? Many people are looking for ways to disable advertising on Skype or torrent, delve into the code, edit something there - this is all real and tested in practice... but you can just install AdGuard and it will automatically block ads in all popular applications - isn’t it beautiful?!
The Parental Control feature seemed useful. I don’t know what filters this works on - but the joke is not in blocking porn sites and other bad resources... but in the inability to even find them in the search.
But of course, it is not without its drawbacks - the application is paid, but its price does not exceed the cost of pizza... support the developers, do not bother with torrents! And don’t forget - the AdGuard application is used to block ads; it will not help against viruses. You can use a good antivirus for free against all evil spirits.
How to remove ads in Google Chrome browser and other browsers
Now let's get down to it simple way get rid of advertising in the browser - I used this extension until I switched to Yandex Browser with the AdGuard extension. Suitable for any browser (or almost, all known to me are supported) - just go to the official website of the extension...
I’ll tell you using Google Chrome as an example (but everything is similar for any other - be it Firefox or Opera) - find the largest button “Install for YOUR_BROWSER”. Agree with the installation of the extension and restart your web browser - the lion's share of advertising on sites will disappear.
How to remove ads in the browser? — We choose the best
If you are constantly seeing ads pop up in your browser, and all the methods described above have not corrected the situation, then you most likely have a malicious program on your computer, a browser extension, or the system settings have been changed. The whole problem with this infection is that antiviruses don’t see them, in fact it doesn’t harm the computer... but it infuriates the user. Let's start with disassembling pop-up advertising in the browser.
How to remove pop-up ads automatically
With the spread of this infection, it is not surprising that entire companies gradually began to appear producing applications to combat this advertising ransomware. Thanks to them, most advertising inserts are treated automatically and require virtually no user intervention - I highly recommend you use them.
AdwCleaner - an easy way to remove ads from your computer
In order not to bother you too much and not to bother you with places in the Windows system that are unclear to the average user, I suggest initially trying to remove pop-up ads in the browser automatically. There are many software products for removing AdWare, but my experience tells me to stick with AdwCleaner - in my opinion, the best solution to remove all known extensions from any browser.
Download only from !OFFICIAL site and nowhere else! After launching the application, click “Scan” and wait for the end of the search for harmful programs... check that the results do not contain anything unnecessary and click clean - check after rebooting.
Please note that AdvCleaner also considers all programs from Mail.RU to be malicious. If you use any Mail Agent, do not forget to remove it from the purge list.
HitmanPro - good way remove pop-up ads in browser
A small utility from Malwarebytes, Hitman Pro will find most malware on your computer and can remove them. The application is paid, but with a test period - it will be more useful than ever for us for a one-time cleaning. As usual, download from the official website of the program.
To avoid installing the program on your computer, use the “I’m going to scan the system only once” option. In this case, we will immediately start scanning the operating system for unwanted programs.
As you can see, malware was found in our system (in our example it is a system activator, but it will do for the example) - just click “Next” to clear the found threats.
Remember I wrote that the application is paid? - so, to clean the system, you can activate a free license... click the appropriate button and specify email to issue you a temporary license.
After cleaning, you should restart your computer and check whether our problem with pop-up advertising inserts has been resolved or not.
Removed pop-up ads in the browser - the Internet does not work
An unpleasant situation happens - you removed pop-ups and ads in your browser and now the Internet does not work. The browser reports that it is unable to connect to the proxy server. The problem is quite common, but has an elementary solution.
Most likely, the left DNS server was used, and since we removed the malicious application - using DNS data turned out to be impossible and useless - you just need to reset the settings to standard
To solve the problem with the error “Cannot connect to the proxy server,” we need to go to the “Control Panel,” open the “Network and Internet” section and in the “Browser Options” category, select “Manage browser settings.”
Make sure that the “Use a proxy server for local connections” checkbox is unchecked and that the “Automatic detection of parameters” option is active.
If the actions taken did not give the desired result, write in the comments, we’ll try to figure out the problem together.
How to remove pop-up ads in your browser manually
If all the above methods to get rid of viral advertising in the browser did not help, then extreme measures remain - we’ll try to fix the situation manually.
Task Scheduler - if ads pop up in the browser
The trend of 2017 is not a new frameless iPhone, but a problem of users who periodically have ads popping up in their browser... and not a single program sees them. I first encountered this species at the end of 2016 (and to be honest, for a very long time I could not understand what the problem was). The situation is as follows: an advertising site periodically opened, even if the browser was closed.
As it turned out, the malware used a task scheduler and simply periodically launched a task - launch the browser at the required time interval and open the site it needed in it (! brilliant).
To improve the health of our system, let’s open the task scheduler and delete it from there...
Open the Start menu and type “Task Scheduler” - find it in the search list and open it. Alternatively, press WIN + R on your keyboard and type taskschd.msc
In one of the tasks, you will probably see the path to the browser with a postscript in the form of a site that constantly opens for you - you should delete it (right-click on the task - delete). There are situations when different sites open all the time - in in this case one site opens, and then redirects to one of many (you just don’t have time to notice it) - just delete dubious tasks with additions to the path to the browser file.
What to do if advertising appears in the browser? — Disable extensions
You can clear your browser of ads and pop-ups simply by disabling the bad extension. Not long ago I installed a browser add-on that allowed me to watch torrents online... everything was great until I noticed that advertising appeared where there had never been one. Unfortunately, I did not notice this right away and therefore the solitaire did not work out right away - it helped that the extension was not installed in another browser and there were no left-handed advertisements there.
I just disabled the browser add-on and the ads disappeared. Try going to the list of extensions:
- For Yandex Browser this is Settings > Add-ons (in the same place where you enabled AdGuard)
- For Google Chrome - Settings > More tools > Extensions
Disable all extensions one by one until the ads stop appearing. This way you will identify a malicious extension - you need to remove it and forget about it forever.
Unfortunately, this point is often ignored, but it is one of the most common. You can’t trust anyone... there are often cases in which the extension that everyone is familiar with starts telling us all sorts of nasty things. We trust him, why do we need to turn him off and check him?! We will look in the place where it is not there... but until the last minute we will not try to simply turn it off for a minute and check.
The Hosts file is the reason for advertising in the browser
Many Adware use the hosts file for their purposes to display ads. Windows systems. Currently, it is practically not used by advertising malware - usually left-handed Google addresses are registered there or social networks are replaced.
You can correct the hosts file using notepad (which, by the way, must be opened as an administrator, otherwise you will not be able to save changes in it). It is necessary to delete all lines that are under the lines starting with a hash.
Why do ads pop up in the browser? — Editing shortcuts
If, after completing all the steps described above, advertising starts only when you launch the browser itself, then it’s time to pay attention to program shortcuts. In the shortcut properties, delete everything that is outside the quotes (usually the address of the annoying site)... and create new shortcuts for the browser.
This method is incredibly simple, but many people overlook it. In my practice, this option of pop-up advertising occurs very often, so do not underestimate it.
Conclusions about pop-up advertising in the browser and blocking it
Constantly popping up ads in your browser can be very annoying, so be careful when installing different applications and try to use official download sites to minimize the possibility of picking up something unusual, but extremely unpleasant.
I hope this small instruction was useful to you (and it is really small - I described only a small part of the problem areas, but they are the most common) and you were able to defeat advertising in the browser. If something doesn’t work out, write in the comments, we’ll figure it out together!
Often, everyone who uses the Internet has experienced inconvenience caused by advertising and pop-ups in.
It doesn’t matter whether you are an advanced Internet user or just like to chat with friends on the Internet after work or find a recipe for apple strudel, but advertising windows are in the way you can quickly and easily get what you need. Speeding up the Internet by increasing traffic is useless and ineffective.

The free AdwCleaner program is designed to remove adware and potentially unwanted software from your computer. After removing such software, the security of your computer will increase.
Many users have often encountered the implicit installation of various unnecessary software on their computer. Toolbars and browser add-ons, advertising modules and banners, toolbars, and similar programs penetrate the computer during installation or after launching programs downloaded from the Internet.
The user expects to install a specific program on his computer, but in the end receives an unexpected “gift” that he will not be happy with at all. In some cases, the user himself allows such programs to appear on his computer without unchecking the appropriate boxes, and without paying attention to this when installing the program. In other cases, such unwanted software penetrates the computer secretly, without any notification to the user.
To prevent the installation of unnecessary programs, you can use a program that will warn you about an attempt to install such unwanted software on your computer.
Often, such unwanted software, once installed on a computer, behaves quite aggressively. Home pages in browsers change, new search engines appear, for example, such as the notorious Webalta, advertising banners, etc. Webalta secretly penetrates the computer, changes the start page in the browser, makes itself the default search engine, changes the properties of the shortcut for opening your page in the browsers installed on your computer.
To combat such unwanted programs, you can use the AdwCleaner program. AdwCleaner will scan your computer for adware and potentially dangerous software. Then you will receive a report, then you will be asked to remove the found adware, malware, and other potentially unwanted programs after restarting your computer.

AdwCleaner does not require installation on your computer. It can be launched from anywhere on the computer, from a connected disk or flash drive. The AdwCleaner utility has Russian language support and is used in the Windows operating system.

Also, if some unobtrusive advertising does not bother you, then you can leave it. To do this, you need to check the appropriate box.
In the “Personal Filters” tab you can add your own filter. How to do it? Let's consider a simple example. The banner address will be https://site/ads/banner124.gif, where 124 is the banner number. However, every time the page is loaded, the banner number will change and it is impossible to use this address as a filter..gif, where * are all banners. This filter will block ads. But you should not enter other characters, since in addition to advertising, you can block the site materials themselves. Insert this filter into the line and click “Add filter”.
In the “List of allowed domains” (not sites) tab, you can add a specific resource using a special button by selecting the address bar and clicking on the Adblock icon.
In the “General” tab, we leave everything unchanged, since all marks are responsible for statistics and display of tools.
Disabling an ad blocker using Adblock Plus as an example
To disable any extension in Yandex Browser, just select “Add-ons” in the menu.
Then in the list of add-ons you need to find an ad blocker or other extension and check “Disable”.
