You are welcomed, Echilis.

That is good news to Firefox / AdFender users indeed...

 

Re: You are welcomed, Echilis.

To use it with other non-supported browsers (Waterfox, Dragon) change your browsers HTTP proxy to 127.0.0.1 and port 7070.

 

I wonder if one can use other lists? Maybe they could add that functionality.

 

Re: You are welcomed, Echilis.

looks like privoxy...and if this i127.0.0.1 port 7070 is added to internet options may block ads sysstemwide=all browsers?

 

Re: You are welcomed, Echilis.

Yup, seems so.

 

I dono if anyone answered your question yet but the whole purpose of sandboxie is to cut the program(s) it runs off from the rest of the computer. So its allot like your running that program on a whole separate computer and that way if you mistakenly open a virus it doesnt infect your computer. Therefore the only way I can think of that might get it to work is to install Adfender in sandboxie but that might not even help.

Did you try
1 downloading all the other ad blocking lists manually (you might need to shut AdFender down before the next step)
2 then opening all the downloaded list as well as the filter for AdFender
3 copy all the ad blocking rules from the downloaded lists and paste them at the bottom of AdFenders list.
4 once its done save the new list (you might have to make it read only after this so AdFender doesnt notice that its been changed and possibly try to delete/redownload the original)

 

Adfender has suddenly stopped blocking any ads..even in current session everything is on zero...have restarted and reinstalled but still the problem persists

 

Running it in Opera without issues.

 

No, I have not. 4 steps to block ads is a little bit too much for me. It all should be done in 2 steps - 1. AdFender downloads them and 2. works them out on its own.

 

A perfect time to try Ad Muncher

 

Why perfect? Is it free at this time

 

Change manually proxy settings in your browser:
127.0.0.1 port: 7070

 

It seems not...

Besides that, AdFender does a nice and enough work (for free) in fact.

 

For Firefox, nothing beats AdBlock Plus, so dont bother

 

Perhaps some bother.

 

Thanx for the suggestion..i will try this next time if it happends again
for the time being i have restored to a backup image as i was also having other problems

 

No problem Champ anyway it works in my case.

 

Looking forward to trying the new release. Hopefully not too long now. Some ads do get through however (popover ads), it works in a similar fashion through my testing to Irons Adblock.ini.

 

Thank you so much for AdFender
It works perfectly with Maxthon.
For me, it just needs to support uTorrent.

Btw, does this replace peerblock?

 

No, it doesn't replace Peerblock.
