Many people believe that ads are annoying not only because they try to get you to purchase things you don’t need, but also because they can negatively impact your browser’s performance. It will take longer for a page to load because it has to load the annoying ads and the browser will eat up more system resources because it needs to run those annoying ads. Moreover, some ads represent a security threat, as they can contain malicious code that can help hackers take control over your computer and your personal information.

Fortunately, there is something you can do – turn to software for help. There are many, many applications out there that promise to block ads. One question immediately comes to mind: which one should I get? If I were you I would get an application that has been around for more than a decade, an application that has been praised by users and the media for being a properly good ad and popup blocker.

The application I am talking about is Ad Muncher. No matter what browser you are on, be it Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, or Internet Explorer, you can enjoy the functionality Ad Muncher has to offer and keep annoying ads and popups at bay. Please note that the aforementioned browsers are not the only ones Ad Muncher supports.

Getting Ad Muncher off the web and onto your computer will only take a moment. The download weighs in at a mere 523Kb, which is quite lightweight. Such a lightweight download will complete in a blink. Installing Ad Muncher takes little time as well – which is also nice. Speaking of installing Ad Muncher, it must be mentioned here that it works with any Windows version from 95 upwards.

Once Ad Muncher is up and running, it will provide protection against annoying ads and popups. The nice thing about Ad Muncher is that it works right out of the box. Remember the part about Ad Muncher being on the market for more than a decade? Well, during all this time the development team behind the application has gathered user feedback and used it to make Ad Muncher as easy to use as possible. You won’t need to spend a large amount of time setting up filters and playing with the settings, because Ad Muncher just works.

Speaking of working, Ad Muncher will block ads and popups from web pages. It is also able to remove ads from applicatios like Pando, SopCast, ICQ, Morpheus, Kazaa and others. It also blocks common 3rd party tracking systems, thus protecting your privacy. Besides that, it blocks spyware, adware and dialer installers.

Ad Muncher is a properly good tool that you can use to block annoying ads and speed up page loading time. It will also keep popups, spyware and adware at bay and it will protect your privacy by blocking tracking systems.

Pros

The program is very easy to use even by beginners. It can block ads and rich media advertising. It can also block popups, spyware, adware and dialer installers. It supports many browsers, including IE, Firefox, Chrome and Opera and can also remove advertising in various programs.

Cons

The options settings may be at first confusing for a beginner. Ad Muncher is a great program for blocking annoying ads and popups from webpages and applications.
