Removed: Adguard for Windows.
why would you remove the software version? any specific issues?

Edit: you can ignore the original question. I posted the question as you replied.

But would be interesting to know your thoughts on Adguard installer. There is a 6 months promo still available IIRC

This! Also if you don't mind using the beta version you can have a key for that. Check their forum.

Removed: Adguard for Windows.

Why would that be?
Probably because Adguard uses a small ammount of IP's when you hide you real one, and they're used with malicious intentions. By the way, you got a lifetime license and removed the software?

EDIT: refreshed the website and saw the answer for the last question.

There's no reason to stop using it just because of that. Kinda like how everyone are free to use Tor even though a lot of bad guys are known to use it as well.

Sorry, I quoted that wrong way. I meant he would keep getting blocked from this site because Adguard uses just a little amount of ips when hiding the real one, and pretty sure they were used with malicious intentions. The removing stuff was a question to another statement he wrote.

i think that is a valid reason to stop using, because it was indirectly obtained illegally. That is why I provided info on the 6months promo.

If a key is obtained originally illegally, it should not be used once its origin is made aware and the company behind the solution should act upon and take the necessary measures.

Tor is not obtained illegally. It is however one of the option to go into deeper web, which unfortunately I do not agree and it should be actually removed from public but that is a topic for another day and thread.
I think we've all misunderstood posts. If i'm not mistaken, Azure thought i suggested to remove the software because it had just a few ip's on its database as to use when it hides the user's, when i was actually explaining Tornado why he was getting blacklisted on this site. And he told me getting blacklisted on a site because of a little ip database was not a solid reason to remove the software. (we all got mixed because i misquoted Tornado's post)

My apologies then I must have misunderstood and thought it was in reference to the license key issue.
It's okay. This kind of misunderstandings can happen, whether online or real-life.

Update: Certain information corrected.

Does Norton's 'delay at startup' feature work? I want MCShield but it really lags startup.

UPDATE: Disabled Adguard and added uBlock Origin.

i am trying to understand what sites you surf to be switching to ublock o, just because of malware blocking features.
Not because of that, but that is a good feature - I switched because I like its lightness AND features.
