Adferno

If you are a frequent user of your computer and spend most of your time surfing the Internet, you probably noticed that lately much about anything you want to access prompts you with several advertisements.

However, if you're not ready to abandon hope and go offline for good just yet, you might want to give a try to dedicated software solutions that can help you block these ads.

Not many other similar programs come with complicated interfaces and Adferno is no exception. Since a lot of users, novices and professionals alike, can relate to the situation depicted above, the app's functions can be easily understood and handled by almost everyone.

The main window comes with a bunch of buttons that you can use to activate a real-time protection that prevents your browser from loading ad messages or ad-related pages and a blacklist section where you can block specific websites.

When you launch it, you will notice that a new tab opens in your browser, one that leads you to the homepage of the app, but through a shortened link. The link, of course, displays an advertisement.

Now you might think what we also thought: will activating the real-time protection and re-launching the application block the advertisement page from ever spawning into our browsers? The answer's no.

If you want to do more than just let it block arbitrary advertisements, you can use the blacklist feature mentioned above. This is quite self-explanatory, as it does exactly what it says: keeps your PC from accessing certain websites.

In order to do so, you just need to type the address of the website in the designated field and hit the "Block" button, as the application takes care of the rest.

If you're looking for an ad-blocking tool that can also help you blacklist certain websites, Adferno might just be the one. However, note that it fails to block its own ads. Its simple interface lets a wide range of users benefit from its capabilities, making it highly accessible even for novices.
