Ad Muncher 4.72 Build 30400

Publisher's Description:

Ad Muncher is a system-wide ad blocker, dealing with annoyances like banner ads and popups along with new rich media ads like video ads, interstitials and floating ads. Many types of spyware and adware installers are also blocked, as well as third-party tracking systems. It works out of the box, without the need to choose what you want blocked or configure third-party filter lists, and works with all browsers and many advert-displaying programs such as ICQ, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo Music Jukebox, SopCast, iMesh, BearShare, Pando, PalTalk, etc.

Listen, I've been using this software and all its versions for years now. Best we got to remove ads and etc from pages and speed-up those pages. Still FLASH has taken over for ads now so the old static ads kind of history now, but still on some sites and forums. I'll keep on using this program. You all should stop and think what else runs less on the system and been around for years that can do all that it does!

I take back my review from last year. Ad muncher used to be a fairly quickly updated program feature-wise but that has since stopped. As pointed out by several reviewers below, features like gzip, ssl, http 1.1, per site and various other features are being pushed to the way side. Not good, not good at all. All the 1/2 ratings are appropriate now in my eyes.

EXCELLENT! AD MUNCHER is a must! Really... It is VERY difficult nowadays to find a lightweight and well written software like this one. It is VERY FAST and lightweight because it was written originally in assembly. Nowadays they are changing the code to 'C' for better portability. I bought this. 1 license, 25 dollars. Very cheap. I am serious considering buying 3 more licenses for using at work. @ADBLOCK PLUS: I know firefox users can use ad block plus. I personally dislike it... It hangs your browsing speed and is slow in overall performance. Besides, using AD BLOCK and OPERA BROWSER is a perfect match... @Mr Whizzle: Ok, you have your opinion. But let me say this: do you have the TIME to hunt down ads and patterns to block most of them editing the .INI file on Proxomitron? If you have, ok , GOOD FOR YOU! But there a lot of people whom just wants to browse without the worry "oh no! a new ad I will have to hunt down and write the rule on proxomitron .ini file". You gave your rating based on your PERSONAL like and not considering the software itself and facts. AD MUNCHER does what it promises and does V-E-R-Y VERY WELL!! So it deserves a good rating and not a ad one because YOU don´t like it besides the features being there. The fact is: Ad muncher works VERY WELL and is updated EVERY DAY! And this is important: a dedicated team improving the software sin 1999!!! (9 years!)

The fact that this software hasn't been improved significantly in the past 10 years or so says alot on the developers coding ability. The Proxomitron took much, much less time to code and blows this software out of the water in every respect (gzip,http 1.1,ssl,regex, etc) and even if it's not developed anymore, still no bugs are in sight and the much more powerful and FREE proxo-lists beat Ad-Muncher's ad blocking capabilities any day of the week. I might give this program a shot again if it ever catches up with the no more developed proxomitron, but at this rate i believe i'll get there faster if i learn to program and code a similar program myself from scratch *rolls eyes* Paying for a software less featured than freeware alternatives makes no sense in my book, but to each its own.

Still the best.. *** WARNING: Begin Rant *** Last three viewers are newbies so ignore them, they don't have a clue what they are talking about... every ad blocking application worth a hoot has false positives/negatives. Its a limitation of current technology. Willemans, does not even explain why Proxomitron is so much better. Steff_P, seems not to understand that Jeff works his a** off trying to fix false positives/negatives. He also seems to think new features is the only important thing when it comes to software and if his demands are not meant the software sucks. As if the software was created just for him and as if he is paying anyone's pay check. Why not hire a developer yourself to get what you want. Good luck with that!!! marks1976, again basses his total view on the fact that from time to time their are false positives. Clearly not a software developer! And if you set a filter correctly it will work. Never had a filter not work the way it was suppose to. However, I have used the wrong filter before. That was my fault not the developers. So perhaps your blaming the wrong person! Anyhow, be sure to check out the admuncher forums. Jeff does a great job and fixing false positives. If you have a problem with some site that works just fine without admuncher but is "broken" in admuncher he will do his best to get it fixed right away. Normally under 72 hours. Really is amazing. Also, about price. You do realize that is for like 5 years or so, right? Pretty damn cheap!! You newbies are just use to hand outs and expect everything to be free. Get a job!! Grow up! Find out how the world really works!! There sure are a lot of reviewers here who seem to think that software is magic and that it was created for only him/her and that developers are some how supposed to be Gods! Code code code! No life! If its not perfect then it sucks attitude. I wonder what the average age is of these posters. And before anyone calls me a fan boy. Hell yeah I am. I love admuncher! But yes there are lots of features that I would love to see implemented and yes I do not agree with how support for Vista was done but that does not mean I think it is crap. So yeah ad muncher is not perfect, but nothing is. Get over it! Just because you want a feature does not mean they owe it to you! And just because another product has some feature it does not does not make it suck any more either. Review the software on its own merits people not based on some other product. *** WARNING: End Rant, For now.. ***
