Hi, I have been looking at adblocking for IE 9 and wondered if anyone is using simple adblock or if there are better options that run better/smoother
Thanks
Andy
There are tracking lists that can be added via manage addons, they block 90% of the ad’s for me and a few others i block by adding .googlesyndication. .yieldmanager. .doubleclick. to the site blocking list in avast.
Thanks Craigb, what’s the best tracking list(s) to add
Iv just got the ones in the pic below
Dont use the fanboy lists if you have malwarebytes pro or you’ll get constant blocking alerts.
I don’t get any blocking alerts from MBAM on the fanboy list, because I long ago considered the MBAM ‘Malicious website blocking’ function to be more hassle than it is worth.
The reason for that decision is that it doesn’t do what it says on the tin, the IPs that are blocked aren’t necessarily malicious as MBAM blocks more than just malicious sites.
Well, this is all new to me but Ive added both of the Fanboy ones. Not sure of the difference but presumably one is tracking protection and one is adblocking
I cant find the topic at MBAM forums at the moment but the fanboy lists were being hosted via certain servers that were also known to deliver malware and spam which was causing the alerts.
I would never turn off the ip blocking feature of malwarebytes as it does work and has saved me numerus times ( and i paid for the feature so im going to use it 
), if you get a block on a legitimate site ( which i never have ) you can add it to the ignore list and report it to malwarebytes to confirm whether the block was right or wrong
This is getting a bit beyond me. I have the paid version of MBAM so do I need these tracking lists as well as MBAM ?
Well they do different things, Malwarebytes doesn’t stop tracking or block ad’s.
Thats what I thought.
Would Adfender be any good ?
I can feel your frustration. Been there and felt it.
I have a solution but I won’t post it because no one here will like it and they may right, then again…
You’ve dangled the carrott now, you must reveal !
I will send you a private message. You probably will also not like my solution but I will send you the message nonetheless.
OK some interesting info on its way then !
Nesivos, nothing wrong with what you said, thats just your preference. Some will disagree, some will agree !
I would rather rely on the network and web shield than MBAM IP malicious site blocking, for me it was a pain in the rear and not a single malicious site did it notify that was actually malicious. So for me they need to reclassify that option as it isn’t just a malicious site blocker.
I find that the website blocker would only pick something up once every couple of weeks but iv noticed with outpost FW installed ( just the firewall ) i never hear from the web blocker at all so i guess outpost must automatically filter out those blocked ip ranges.
Well I don’t know if that would be the case if Outpost firewall filtered out the IPs or you may to come across web page errors, missing content, etc. which presumably don’t.
If it is filtering access to the fanboy list, then it makes a mockery of having it added to adblock plus.
I used SimpleAdblock in IE9 but it only blocks 200 ads a day unless you pay for it. I currently am using the tracking list from privacychoice and it works very well and automatically updates itself.
