I dunno. It seemed to slow my streaming and had continuous breaks in video on a lot of sites. Have now installed Adblock Plus for IE. Adblock seems totally non intrusive and works fine plus its free to :). Though have to mention here that am running a combination of Kaspersky Internet Multi Device 2015, Malwarebytes Premium, SpyShelter, Hitmanpro and Adblock Plus.

Hi, great review thanks. I've been using Adguard extension on Firefoxand Chrome, and now downloaded Adguard for Windows.
One question I have that I haven't seen addressed elsewhere is: Should I use both the Firefox extension and Adguard for Windows, or just one or the other? I have found the trial Windows Adguard to use up quite a lot of memory in the last few days.
I love the program but could someone please let me know if there's a suggested way to go: extension or Windows program or both?
Thanks!

A really nice product and very cheap itself. You can buy a life-time premium license at very cheap price. I use this product for some years and love it. Before I used ad muncher as adguard was buggy program and slowed down my Internet/computer speed. But adguard team made much effort since that time. Moreover, everyone can get a license for 1 year absolutely free by inviting 4 friends and installing adguard on their computers.

I love this product! I bought a lifetime license about a month or less ago and it's been working wonderfully! I don't see the issues people talk about here but everybody has a different configuration. Mine is smooth and I suffer no struggles on startup time or browsing issues.

What's kind of non sense is how people disqualify or treat a program as bad just because it has 1 "bad" thing over the excellent or significant other features....

What is the resource usage for this program? I'm currently using CIS + HMPA on my laptop @ 58% RAM usage (4GB RAM). Just opening 2 Chrome tab I'm running out of RAM (goes up to 90%).

Thanks for the tip about integration mode - I really love how it works and am now using it on Firefox and Chrome.

I see where your problems were...Kaspersky + MBAM. Adguard doesn't gets along with this two in realime.

Loves the new Adguard 6.0 much slicker than the previous build. Adguard + HMPA + ZAM in realltime. No more AV's for me.
