Advert blocking

My current copy of Kaspersky Internet Security is due to end in a little over a month.

I've used KIS on all 6 computers for years, but I'm currently using 2013 version, as so many useful setting were lost with the 2014 version.

Now, one of the things I really, really like about KIS is 'anti-banner' which kills more or less, all adverts.

Looking around the web at other security suites, Avast, Eset, Norton, AVG, etc. none appears to have this feature.

And before someone says, use Firefox with Ad-blocker, then the answer to that is no.

I was looking for laser printers on Amazon and had found one I liked. The next day an Amazon popup advert appeared on another website for this printer at a 30% lower price.

I think I was just lucky that the price had been reduced.

For my information - why not?

In my experience browser ad-blocker extensions slow down web browsing slightly. Wish Eset Smart Security would include an ad-blocker

Yes - I agree with you on both points but don't find the slowing down of Firefox troublesome.

Well, for me it's broken.

I normally use IE & have about 3000 sites, within groups, in Favorites.

Now, when I import them into Firefox or Waterfox, they get a far as "H" & stop.

Both Palemoon & Opera 12, both handle them fine.

Since I last posted, I've found that Ad-blocker now have an IE version, & it works fine with Eset.

I still wouldn't want ads.

If I want something, I study many sites, with regards to price, etc., for a number of days.

When I'm ready to order, I recheck the main sites I deal with & trust, & then order.

I'm on a number of e-mailing list, so I get plenty of info for the things I'm interested in.

I have a heap of urls added to my hosts file. It does slow the page load slightly, but only if said page is heavily packed with said URLs. If you want a copy, let me know.
