Really love this application. It's never let me down. Well worth the asking price.

I agree with the last post, this one should be bult-in to windows. It makes Internet what it should be. Perfect app. But one thing.. Diam0nd you need to go back to school. It's spelled Author not Autor. Clearly you don't know him. And it is very well priced for what you get! Again A++++

This is an essential software in our age. Makes Internet experience WAY more decent. However: 1. Overpriced 2. Autor is a j.e.r.k

AdMuncher is one of the few software programs I immediately install on every computer. It's essential to keep your sanity while browsing. RoSmecher: Clearly you aren't asking in the right forum. I routinely browse the message boards at AdMuncher.com and I've never seen a question go unanswered.

a great program but it continually crashes with maxthon 2. i have reported the problems to both companies but none have taken the initive to fix it. i'm using vista 32-bit ultimate.

Finally, full-on Vista support is here! As always, this application gets a 5/5 from me. Now all we need is 64-bit extensions (Planned for 4.73), http1.1/gzip, per-site filters, and regexp support, all of which are planned for v4.8, last I heard (I hope!). I can't live without this app anymore, and it's the first thing that gets installed after windows & windows updates :)

DamageJackyl, x64 is no where close to mainstream so get over it. Even Microsoft does not develop most of their applications for x64. I bet not even 1% are now x64 and that includes new products. Until then it's going to take a bit of time, effort, and money, for 3rd parties to do it. You should just be happy they decided to go with the flow. I probably would have put x64 on the back burner until next OS after visa. And perhaps the next one after that since Microsoft is still planning to make both x86 and x64 versions of their next OS and some how I see x64 still pretty much, well dead! Basically we wont see x64 mainstream until developers, including Microsoft, are forced to. Until then it's anyones' game and it just surprises me how many people wine about not having x64 support when there are many more import issues in computing.

Installer is working fine for me now. Doesnt appear to be any annoying UAC prompts anymore on startup and IE appears to work as well. I havent run into any bugs with the exception of the one where AM freezes when hitting APPLY after manually updating (Detailed in this thread: http://www.admuncher.com...opic.php?f=4&t=3211 ). Other than that, as usual, a great program. 5 points for the home team!

Quick reply to SSB: v4.73 will support filtering of 64 bit programs, and we plan to start work on HTTP 1.1/gzip support for the next major release after that. That version will entail a significant rewrite of the filtering engine however, so it may take a little while to get right. Thanks for bearing with us, we'll be doing everything we can to implement these features as quickly as possible.

There is not a Firefox plugin that blocks ads for ALL programs... This does a great job, so much so that I am amazed when I use other computers and see all the crap that is on websites. Havent seen them since I started using Ad Muncher. This just for a month of not frequent browsing: Ad Muncher Usage Statistics for v4.72 Beta Build 29814/1812 Adverts removed by Ad Muncher: 24,335 Approximate bandwidth saved: 190 MB Counter started: December 18, 2007

No need anymore to have separate program to block ads, there is a Firefox add on that does the job.

@Murray Hurps: What about HTTP 1.1 support? You said nothing about it. It was promised years ago and still is one of the most annoying limitations of AdMuncher.

Rated 50/50 by pjb at Jan 17, 2008

New Beta is: Ad Muncher v4.72 Beta Build 29814/1812 Works really well. Not come across and problems. Auto update from the previous beta release worked really fine.

This seems to be working fine on Window Vista Ultimate 64-bit Operating System Service Pack 1, v.744 Works in Internet Explorer (32-bit), Opera and Firefox... They just need to add support for Internet Explorer (64-bit)

Awesome program! I would not surf the net without it. These guys update the advert list daily & rock w/ all the extra's included like IP Scramble! I bought this software about a year ago & will always use it! Keep up the GREAT work guys!

@Murray Hurps: > v4.73 will support filtering of 64 bit programs, > and we plan to start work on HTTP 1.1/gzip > support for the next major release after that. I only hope you release it sometime ...this century. Sorry if sound sarcastic, but I'm very disappointed with AdMuncher never-ending beta cycles, and "nothing-new" releases.

Nothing compares. As I always said you pay for what you get, but with this one, you get so much more. Nothing more needs to be said. Well done!

For those talking about better free alternatives, please remember, this does not filter ONLY web browsers. And application-specific plugins will only filter that application. Ad Muncher is a system-wide filtering application that filters everything that uses HTTP for advertisement delivery. One could argue that Proxomitron is a free option, but it is no longer being developed, and the community support is completely fragmented. The two developers of this program are always available and respond to every email. The filter list is updated every single day. New features are being implemented constantly. They have a live chat (Hooked into EFNet) where users can help if the developers are not around at that particular moment. For those reasons alone, I feel this is well worth the $25 I paid for it. And the license is good for ALL v4.x versions, and v4.8 is going to be a major revision.

It's a neat prog but I just think this is overpriced or what it does given there are free alternatives. The Maxthon browser shell does the job just as good or better. FF has plugins. If it was reasonably priced I'd prob go for it as a one catches all.

Excellent apps, been using for years, absolutely love it, filters ALL browsers and other web apps. @ballyhairs Not everyone uses firefox buddy.
