Adguard - reviews. Adguard: what people think about the program

The Internet is not just an entertainment venue, but an incredible information space in which people literally live, communicate with their friends and work. That's just the trend of recent years is that earn many site owners prefer, placing them on advertising.

Sometimes its number is such that it is impossible to use the page normally, but there may be some important or interesting information on it! In any case, this is what many reviews say. Adguard is the program that can help you solve this problem.

What it is?

This is a specialized application designed for cutting advertising. It blocks its loading, as a result of which you not only do not see a bunch of information garbage, but also save a lot of traffic. This is especially important when using a USB modem with a limited connection.

What do the reviews say about this? Adguard, judging by the application of users, helps to reduce the number of downloaded information in half or two. If you use the browser "Opera" with the turbo mode turned on, then the traffic consumption can be reduced at once three times (and sometimes more).

Pros of the program

First, we will immediately determine one point. The point is that the program is paid. It costs 150 rubles (within 5 dollars for foreign buyers). To consider it a plus or a minus is a private matter for everyone, since money is not serious in any case. And now let's talk about the positive aspects of the utility.

First, Adguard is completely independent of the browser in which it is installed. What does it mean? In simpler terms, popular in the latest extensions for Internet browsers (the famous AdBlock, for example) work only in the program where they were installed. In addition, there are versions not all browsers.

Child protection

It's no secret that children need to be protected from switching to "adult" versions of sites, as well as from visits to those pages that contain information that may be harmful to them. "Adgvard" is suitable even for this. Its developers regularly update the "black list" of harmful sites, the transitions to which are blocked by the program.

Are there any reviews? Adguard, according to almost all the people who installed it, is an excellent means of protecting not only children, but also inexperienced users. So, when you try to switch to a potentially malicious program , you get an express warning written in red, so most beginners do not risk surfing in this direction. Experienced users say that such a simple measure has repeatedly saved the computers of their relatives from the complete reinstallation of the entire operating system.

Inexperienced users are happy that you can put one program, then use any browser program (IE, Opera, Firefox). What else do the reviews say? Adguard is practically the only alternative for those users who for some reason prefer to use some exotic browsers in their daily work. For them, there is (and is unlikely to be) a special version of "Adblok".

They perfectly speak about Adguard. Of course, modern anti-virus programs can often cut ad blocks from web pages, but not always this option can be present in the antivirus that you use specifically, and not always it works quite fully. Users say that in this case, up to 50% of advertising, and sometimes more, can remain on the page.

Small appetites

If you use Firefox, you probably know about a small negative feature of its extensions. Some of them have no optimization, and therefore when the browser starts to consume a huge amount of RAM.

If you use Adguard, then nothing like this is observed. The application has a resident module that constantly hangs in the system tray, and the amount of "RAM" consumed does not exceed a couple of tens of megabytes.

Given the gluttony of modern browsers in this regard, this circumstance can be extremely important for people who are still working on old computers. Since they can only have 2 GB of RAM or less, they can not afford the use of any extensions that contribute to memory leaks.

Of course, it may not be at all in them, but an inexperienced person probably will not have the time and the opportunity to finally understand this issue.

Blocking flash advertising

Unlike the same antivirus programs, "Agvard" can completely block all annoying ads based on the use of Flash technology. Given the number of vulnerabilities that regularly appear in it, it is extremely important.

So in this respect, the program Adguard wins. Adblock, reviews of which are also good, this option does not. You have to put Flashblock in addition, which for inexperienced users can be problematic. In addition, there is a version not for every browser: it works great in Firefox and its replicas, but in "Chrome" is not very much.

Creating your own rules

Finally, the Adguard program, the feedback we are considering, allows you to create your own rule sets for specific sites. And you can do this by clicking on the objects that are hindering you a couple of times. This application favorably differs from antiviruses, in which (if it exists at all), this option needs to be set up. And with this newcomers obviously can not cope.

Are there any negative reviews about the Adguard program? Yes, there are such.

Negative moments

First, users complain that the application installs a bunch of security certificates in the browser. This is far from convenient, because often this approach leads to the inability to access the site. Again, experienced users will probably be able to remove the most interfering of them, while for beginners this task can become simply unbearable.

Is there a trial?

Very often, users complain that no trial period is available, and the program immediately asks for the key file when installing. Of course, as a result of the anti-bender Adguard, the reviews we are considering, does not receive special recognition from users.

Technical support in this case is not particularly helpful. As practice shows, there simply advised to remove and reinstall the program. Again, even after this, there may be problems with activation. Trust this program in no way adds.

Brakes ...

Developers strongly emphasize that the application does not make it difficult to download sites, does not increase the ping. You can verify this at Adguard.com. Reviews are not so unanimous. Many users who are forced to access the Internet with a not very fast channel, speak of a significant slowdown in the browser.

In addition, some antivirus programs are not at odds with this application, and therefore sometimes give out errors. Sometimes they lead to the restart of the "Explorer" or the antivirus application itself. And further. On the Internet, you can meet a bunch of reviews about how the program worked perfectly during the entire demonstration period, and after it suddenly began to miss almost half of advertising.

Someone thinks that this can happen because of some problems with activation, because of what the actual transition from the trial category does not happen. Technical support in this regard also can not say anything intelligible.

And for what?

By the way, is it necessary to support a couple of dozen browsers? Of the hundreds of ordinary users, only 3-4 can run several types of Internet browsers in parallel. All others are satisfied with one, the most trusted and reliable. So is not it easier to install AddBlock than buying its paid counterpart?

Many experienced users do just that.

conclusions

So, what can you say when summarizing? If you have a weak Internet, and every megabyte on the account, there is a sense in this application. Experienced users also find it easier to configure all the necessary plug-ins once in the browser they use, so that they do not return to this topic later. In addition, if you have the necessary knowledge, you can simply activate the appropriate options in the antivirus software you are using.

Many utilities of this class provide the corresponding options, and therefore pay for the same two times is not worth it. That's what Adguard is. Testimonials indicate a good functionality of this application, but also note the existence of quality and free of its analogues. In a word, the choice is yours!
