| | | | Ads? Where? I don't see any, not even on PC World's site. My secret weapon is Ad Muncher, the most effective (and simple-to-use) ad and pop-up blocking utility I've seen. Granted, the tool is $25 (with a 30-day trial), but it works great and blocks almost all banner, Flash, floating, and text ads I've encountered. When you try it, be sure to uninstall or disable your existing ad and pop-up blocker. If a Web site doesn't work correctly, or if you want a site's pop-up to pop up, the fix is easy. Click Ad Muncher in the system tray, choose the My Filters tab, click New, cut and paste the address into the Keyword field, choose No Filtering in the Filter Category, click Apply and click Close. | | | | | | | |

As the name suggests, Ad Muncher gets rid of adverts - but it does a lot more besides. In addition to banner blocking and pop-up blocking, the program can disable the commands that launch windows when you close your browser, the referrer logging that tells site owners where you've been, and even background images.
Ads are blocked in different ways. You can prohibit images by size - which also blocks the adverts in some software programs - or by using filters that you've set up yourself; there's also a server-supplied list of common ad systems that you can use in conjunction with your own filters. You can also configure Ad Muncher to block JavaScript alert windows and Meta refresh tags, and you can prevent Internet files from being cached.
Under the Security tab you can disable HTTP referrer logging, Web bugs and status bar text (often used to obscure links' real targets), and you can also override any mouse controls, such as when a page disables the right-click button or text highlighting. OnLoad and OnUnLoad commands can be blocked, too, which stops sites filling your screen with unwanted windows when you arrive at or depart from a page. Finally, the program includes IP scrambling, which uses anonymous proxy servers to hide your real IP address. It's not just limited to IE, either - it also blocked ads in RealOne Player and other irritating apps. Overall, it's a great wee program that makes the Net a much nicer place to be.

| | | | Ad Muncher successfully "munched" every ad and pop-up we encountered. | | | | | | | |
| | | | How one could surf the internet without Ad Muncher is beyond comprehension. | | | | | | | |
| | | | This is absolutely the most effective ad-blocker available. It goes far beyond the so-called blocking built into modern browsers. | | | | | | | |
