Kaspersky Anti-banner to combat advertising on the Internet

Every website contains advertising. Many people thought about the possibility of turning it off. For this there are special plugins and programs. The developers of Kaspersky Lab took care of users and included a component in the antivirus that blocks ads. Anti-banner is a component of a functional module that prevents the operation of advertising banners on Internet pages. This allows you to significantly save download traffic and protects you from useless information that is filled with advertising messages.

Kaspersky Lab specialists conduct research and, according to their results, compile a list of masks for the most common advertising banners. That's why this list is constantly updated in the antivirus database and always relevant.

Banners are blocked if, when compared, the banner mask located on the loaded site matches the database mask.

A special method is also used to detect advertising banners by comparing images on the site. Those pictures that match the description of the advertisements are blocked.

There is an individual setting for the advertising message filter. It is produced by the user himself. To prohibit the display of a banner, you need to add its mask to the “black” list, and allow it to the “white” list. Not everyone who use Kaspersky Lab products, they know about the existence of the Anti-Banner, because it is disabled by default.
