Ad Guardian Plus for Windows

Anti-malware and Ad-blocker software

Ad Guardian Plus is a privacy and security software that prevents online ads from appearing on websites and applications. The program is also known as HTML filtering. It detects code that contains images, links, or scripts related to ads. This desktop application blocks trackers from advertisers, social media platforms, and data miners. Bit Guardian GmbH developed Ad Guardian Plus exclusively for Windows 7/8/8.1/10/Vista/XP computers. It also needs 512 MB RAM and 100MB of hard drive space. It will not slow down your computer while it is running in the background.

Bit Guardian GmbH stands out among a sea of adblock extensions. They offer Ad Guardian Plus as an downloadable program. This allows your computer to block any web services gathering your web activity. Ad Guardian Plus will remove pop-up windows and web banners from your browser, programs and web apps.

It will first give you an overview of the features and where they are located. The Web Protection section will take you to the next page. This section displays the total number and trackers of threats, advertisements, and trackers that the app has blocked. Click View Details to see more details. The details include the date and time stamp. This indicates when the app detected suspicious behavior or possible mining. You can toggle three features below the numbers: Ad Blocker and Privacy Guard.

While the Ad Blocker was created to provide a safe browsing experience, the Privacy Guard and the last two features were added for your security. The Privacy Guard is responsible for deactivating online trackers so that advertisers, cybercriminals, and search engines cannot gather your personal data and browsing activity. Safe Browsing is a different feature. It focuses more on detecting malware or phishing attempts.

Ad Guardian Plus has both basic and advanced configuration settings. You can toggle four options: Exit on Close, Launch on Startup, Show Notifications and Block crypto-mining software from websites. You can also change the language of the program. Advanced settings allow you to modify specific areas of the program.

The Web Assistant, Geo Filter, and Ad Filter are the easiest to modify. You simply need to tick the boxes for the actions you wish to enable. You can also modify the Rules Editor and Application settings by simply adding the URL, web script or application you want to block. Users can modify the Rules Editor. This is especially recommended for those who have a working knowledge in coding.

It is also a good way to get to know the Web Assistant. It is a circle of green color that appears in the bottom right corner. This indicates that the program has been launched. To see the status of blocked ads, trackers and threats, you must hover or click on the icon. If you wish to see its status in real time, tick the Show statistics icon on the Web Assistant settings.

Ad Guardian Plus Basic Free Plan offers the ability to block ads for an unlimited time. Each of the 3 Ad Guardian Plus paid plans includes the Ad Blocker. Each subscription includes the Privacy Protector, web protection, and 24/7 customer support. Bit Guardian GmbH customer support can help you with your queries via live chat, email support, and its FAQ page.

Ad Guardian Plus is an excellent choice for an ad blocking application. It can track ads before they reach your browser or application. The app reduces the number of images, videos, or graphics that load on your page. This speeds up page loading times. You can surf the internet and use other programs in a safer environment thanks to the anti-malware, anti-phishing and firewall features.
