add blocker works
« on: March 02, 2013, 05:06:47 AM »
I installed Avast 8 yesterday and am loving it. It installed without any problem and is working flawlessly. I installed IE 10 today on my Windows 7. I searched Google trying to get rid of the pesky advertisements in
Outlook (Hotmail). Nothing worked until I used the add blocker in Avast. The adds are gone. Thank you Avast.

Where is the adblocker? Is it available for avast free users?

Does enabling adblocker speed up or slow down page loading?

It should speed it up, as the ads don't get loaded.

Am I right that Avast's Adblocker can't work simultaneously with AdBlock Plus in Mozilla Firefox?
May the FOSS be with you!

If you add AdBlock Plus in Mozilla Firefox plug-in the Avast's Adblocker doesn't load because you already have ABP+ in you're FF browser, Avast's Adblocker is almost the same as ABP+ ;) IF you want to used Avast's Adblocker you have to remove ABP+ in you're FF browser you can't have both ;)
