This will display the Add URLs to ads stopper list window. 3.   Specify the sources for the unwanted banner ads you want to add to the blacklist. To do so, select the banners in the list one-by-one and edit the URL paths when necessary using the Edit field. To mark a specific banner for adding it to the program blacklist, simply enable the corresponding banner URL checkbox. To get help on the window elements, click Help. 4.   Click the Add button. This will add the new ads stopper settings to the blacklist. Tip: the % character in the banner image URL can stand for "any character". For example, if you include the .ad%/ string into the banner description, the program will ignore the following banner ads: .ads/, .ad1/,.ad3/ etc. See also      Editing a blacklist      Sharing blacklists with other users      Banner ignoring feature settings

We get accustomed very quickly to the surrounding. Spending much time in the Internet, one can with certainty affirm: we live in the world of advertising. However, it’s quite hard to get used to it. The point is that the advertising is aimed to attract attention. Being guided by this principle, ads makers invent progressively newer and newer kinds of irritants to make the audience react. Thus, when opening a required Web-site, our attention is focused not on the things we have searched for, but on all sorts of banners and pop-up windows. banner ad stopper.

AdsGone
The first thing that caught my eye at launching the application was its clumsy design and awkward interface. Numerous tabs, unnecessary pictures and explanation notes contrasted with the set of options far from being smart. No doubt the features are quite easy to master– considering that the tawdry hints and icons actually provide some information. However, the functions are not enough. As for pop-up blocking, it is perfectly in order. There are even a black list and a white list for the windows headers. But the banners are what AdsGone cannot duly cope with. It is impossible to add unwanted sites to the list of addresses, as well as to disable Flash advertising. One can’t even plainly track spy software (though such a feature is declared) due to the same inability to update the list of hostile applications. The last straw laid by AdsGone to break the camel’s back was an absurd bug in the design. It was revealed when trying to maximize the main window (see screenshot).
AdsCleaner ( banner ad stopper )
Being guided by the criteria listed above, I made bold to declare the absolute winner of the analysis. As you may already guess, it is AdsCleaner. To be furnished with proof and to ground my choice, I decided to provide a detailed description of all its major features. In short: this is the only tool with multilanguage support, including Russian. As far as the design is concerned, AdsCleaner found the golden mean between the convenient functionality and attractive appearance.
