If you didn’t notice, nearly all bloggers that generates revenue from their website through advertisements never talk about AdBlockers. Reason is if they introduced a good advertisement blocker and you ended up using it, they’ll loose YOU (or perhaps a few hundreds or thousands depending on how much readers the site has) to view the displayed advertisements or clicking it because it is relevant to the visitor. Even Martin from Ghacks also mentioned “Turning off the adblocker helps me generate revenue. Each visit pays so to speak. Even if you do not click on the ads it helps me pay my bills.” I fully agree with Martin but the painful truth is people installing quality ad blockers have a 99.99% probability of never clicking on an ad to begin with.
There are anti-adblock scripts that is able to get pass adblockers but I wouldn’t want to embed that into my ads because it is like forcing you to view the ads when you don’t want to. Maybe you have a broadband subscription with limited bandwidth and don’t want to waste your bandwidth in loading advertisements. Anyway, today I am going to do something that bloggers never do, that is to introduce you a very good quality ad blocker software that has been in development for 9 years. Other than that, I am also going to show you how to register the software that normally cost $23.76 for FREE!
Ad Muncher is a system-wide ad blocker, dealing with annoyances like banner ads and popups along with new rich media ads like video ads, interstitials and floating ads. Many types of spyware and adware installers are also blocked, as well as third-party tracking systems. It works out of the box, without the need to choose what you want blocked or configure third-party filter lists, and works with all browsers and many advert-displaying programs such as ICQ, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo Music Jukebox, SopCast, iMesh, BearShare, Pando, PalTalk, etc.
Ad Muncher has been in constant development for over nine years, and has been used successfully on millions of computer systems around the world. After these years of development and user feedback it has evolved into a rock-solid application with some of the most advanced advert and popup filtering systems currently available.
A quick list of features that differentiate Ad Muncher from many other advert removal products:
Not just a popup remover, also removing embedded adverts and many other annoyances. System-level filtering of adverts in all browsers and most advert-displaying programs. Extensive configuration options to tailor Ad Muncher to your needs. Extremely fast filtering engine. Continuing intensive development, with no end in sight for continually improving Ad Muncher releases.
Follow the steps below on how to register Ad Muncher for free.
1. Download and install Ad Muncher.
2. Run Ad Muncher, enter the name and code shown below and click the Register button.
Name: Request to remove by AdMuncher
Code: Request to remove by AdMuncher
This license is for Komputer Swiat readers living in Poland. If you’re not living in Poland, you should get the error message “The Komputer SWIAT license can only be used from within Poland, and you are connecting from appears to be in COUNTRY. If you are currently in Poland, please contact us for further assistance.”
3. Click Proxy Options button, check “Use proxy when contacting the Ad Muncher servers”. Make sure the Type is selected as HTTP, enter the address as 213.25.107.4 and port 80. Click OK and click Retry. The proxy address belongs to Poland so when you try to update or validate the license code with it, Ad Muncher will think that you’re in Poland.
4. Wait for a few seconds and you should see a dialog box that says “Your license was successfully verified. Thank you for supporting Ad Muncher development. Click Close to continue.
Whenever you need to update the program or advert list from Options > Updates, you have to make sure that you’re using a working Poland proxy or else it will tell you that the license can only be used in Poland. I am sure one day either the Poland proxy that I provided will stop working or Ad Muncher server starts blocking it. When that happens, you can search in Google for another working Poland proxy.
Ad Muncher installer is only 418 KB in size. The minimum system requirement to run Ad Muncher is Pentium 60, 32 MB ram, 2 MB disk space. Supports from version of Windows (95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista).
Note If you like my articles and would like to help, you can add my site raymond.cc to your filter list to stop filtering the ads or to allow the advertisement to continue loading. It does help to pay the bills even if you don’t click the ads. Thanks!

there was a license key, it was just removed by raymond :
Name: Request to remove by AdMuncher
Code: Request to remove by AdMuncher
it was a license key provided for the readers of the Komputer Swiat magazine in Poland.
How the license could be expired if there were no any license key? I’m asking just out of curiosity as AdFender is out there, and also IE9 Tracking Protection List is working pretty well.
The license expired on 1st january 2012 … and yes it was working up to the latest 4.93 beta with premium updates
Is this method still working with Ad Muncher v4.92 ?
ive had this for ever been using the komputer swiat code but as of today the icon turned red i tried to find poland proxies and they say that the data was corrupted when i try to register. ive tried hundreds of proxies it would just BE ALOT SIMPLER IF YOU COULD JUST RESET THE 30 DAY TRIAL EVERY TIME or if somebody had a new name and code. for the most part the komputer name and code dont work anymore
Ad Muncher v 4.81 appears to have “timed-out” as of today (23/12/2010). The “configuration” no longer appears to work.
And its the Configuration files that control the registration and licensing: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Ad Muncher; there is also a registry entry for the 30 day trial time-out.
If you have already “licensed and registered” Ad Muncher you would be best advised to save all related files in case you need to freshly install Ad Muncher in the event of a hard drive failure.
“How does one go about doing that? I don’t think just copying and pasting a known good registered version with Komputer SWIAT “Registration” and “License” file into a newly installed Ad Muncher’s C:/Program Files/Ad Muncher will make it registered.” I’m not 100% certain, Andy, but if you copy and paste everything across you might/should be OK. I’m more or less certain that you won’t be able to register a fresh installation on-line on-line, unless you are very lucky. And even if you do “register and license” it, it appears almost impossible to update it. Likewise, updating to the latest build. If you can live without being able to update the lists/program Ad Muncher is still a very useful piece of software.
bagaimana cara register admuncher?
“I don’t think that you can register the license “on-line” any more; you’d have to “install” the registration file separately and “off-line”. ”
How does one go about doing that? I don’t think just copying and pasting a known good registered version with Komputer SWIAT “Registration” and “License” file into a newly installed Ad Muncher’s C:/Program Files/Ad Muncher will make it registered.
I don’t think that you can register the license “on-line” any more; you’d have to “install” the registration file separately and “off-line”. I agree, that updating the filters isn’t really necessary.
u don’t need to do the filters update. what ever default filters version should work just fine. the key is if u can register their license
Hi Pete I found a working one fairly quickly; it worked fine for a few days, but alas no more. So, it’s back to the drawing board I’m afraid.
Fiona, what proxie are you using that works?
I’ve tried loads but can’t find one that will allow the updates.
Thanks
Thanks for this info, Richard :-) I had give up on this, it’s working now :-)
They are starting to add known proxies to their banned list so to update you have to find fresh proxies each time.
just google polish proxies and you will find several sites that give you free proxies, and remember to choose the anonymous ones!
It seems to me that this has stopped updating (V 4.81 Build 31376) with the Komputer Swiat licence. (23/09/2010) Last update was 3197. It is now displaying a message: “The Komputer SWIAT license can only be used from within Poland, and the address you are connecting from cannot have its location confirmed. If you are currently in Poland, please contact us for further assistance.”
I cannot get this to work =( I got addicted to it when I downloaded the 30 day free trial. Can anyone help on this? Does anyone have a code for USA?
Ah, never mind. Had to get new beta (admuncher.com/beta.pl) and install on top of current version. All good to go now
Seems to me that is has stopped updating with the COmputer Swiat reg code. It’s now 9 Sep and my last definition update was 3 Sep. Whenever I click update I get NONE for available updates. Anyone else also using this Computer SWIAT reg code and having same same problem?
Good to Ad Muncher guys…
thanks
Not workin… invalid code
To those who think Firefox adblock extension is better – you obviously haven’t tried Admuncher!
I’ve been a legit licence owner for years and I’m glad I paid for it.
Seeing it on here like this is vaguely disturbing though. Bring on the rest of the warez, Ray.
Bravo,Bravo,Bravo !!:)
This works!

Working proxy : 85.14.75.105:6588
Any update for working proxies?
At this time of writing this polish proxy work:
195.205.230.59:8080
Post some more poland proxies that dont use port 80
Yeah!!! I have find more operating Proxys!!! You must be smart to find one
I have try again for another machine and no way,,, I have test many Proxis, but no one is working!!!!
This certainly is no longer working. I tried many different proxy servers but no go. I guess they probably must have allotted a certain number of licenses and then turned it off or something similar.
I noticed no one on the Green Demon can get this working properly either. If you can get it to install it does not update – so useless for future ads. I might be wrong but it seems to work exactly as ad block plus does with a user submitted database. Lots of people say \\\’Oh it\\\’s so sophisticated\\\’ but don\\\’t say why. I see it has a nice but complex looking GUI – but so what? Others comment it takes blocking to extremes and one guy said it trashed chrome (although that\\\’s probably not a bad thing).
If Raymond had not recommended it I would not have given it a second look.

Pay for it!
I am living in India. What should i do
Managed to get the Muncher operational on my PC no problems. Great program — easy to use and very effective.
Unfortunately I left it a few days and now it won’t install on my laptop. Looks like the vendor has got smart.
Does anyone have an IP address for a unblocked Polish Proxy?
If not, looks like it’s back to FF + Adblock Plus which isn’t nearly as sophisticated.
i’m fr singapore. i get the same error also.
and i’ve keyed in the proxy as according to the instructions.
Does not seem to install to well either. Says
\’Failure when attempting to use installer IPC module, please contact us and quote error code AMI_IPC_2023\”
Possibly due to running Kaspersky Internet security and/or Ashampoo and Antispyware. But does not inspire confidence.
This one gets the CC cleaner treatment. Who wants another app. running in their system tray?
yeah been using admuncher for years too..its one of the first apps i install after a format
Raymond, you are so kind to post this eventhough your own ads might be blocked. Cheers to you :)
I been using Ad Muncher for years, and it,s even better than FF and Adblock by far.You just try it an see why by your self.
Great I am sure it works really well but is it better than Adblock Plus and if so why and how?
For the best browsing experience in every way I thought we were all supposed to use Firefox with Adblock plus and noscript in sandboxie. Or that’s what I gathered here from you Raymond.
Everyone click some ads on the site to thank him for being so honest.
This one is working:83.18.28.130:3128 Super OK Thank you
No way from here I have tryed many Proxys, but no way, allways an error, Im from Spain.

Hi Raymond,
I really don\’t like bothering you with this. However if you have a just a brief moment. I sure could use a helping hand.
I\’m having trouble finding a working proxy *with* a port number.
Regards,
Sarah
Ad list updated with correct proxy,if try out from many avaliable. MacDaddy,buy it? Already spent too much to my PC ;)
This is wrong. Why not just go that final hair’s breadth and post a keygen?
My apologies tampaba1. Very likely your network configuration do not allow using of proxy servers.
This is wrong, plain and simple.
Buy it if you like it.
First, Raymond and ozziemozzie, I know how to read and follow directions and did so accordingly. Blowing me off like I\’m some newbie isn\’t very appreciated. There is an issue with this and it needs to be addressed. If you can not address it say so but, don\’t be condescending to me and others that have a issue.
Thanks Raymond! It\’s working! I like AM and waiting for same post!:) Activation working well with proxy,but unable load update advert list,always get message about ,,You not from Poland,, but already with Poland IP address. How to force this? Any advice?

Did anyone find a new working proxy for the registration? I’ve tried a few working proxies but they can’t seem to register does that mean it’s already blocked?
Nice find, but won’t be replacing my FF with AdBlock Plus and RIP (Remove It Permanently) extensions.

you’ve made me think …
from now on your site is whitelisted in my adblock :D
@tampaba1: You’d have to READ and FOLLOW the steps carefully.
@Jayhan: Thanks for being considerate :)
@Jonathan Strange: Of course it works ;) Everything that I post will work at that time but no guarantee it will work forever.
This worked fine for me.But i’ve since deleted it.
Hah, I live in Poland – but I think there are better programs to block ads.
As always, I have downloaded ad muncher – to hold up tradition :D
Komputer Swiat magazine is not free – it costs about 12 zlotys ($7.2).
Thanks Raymond, I wouldn’t believe it’d work but it does!
I wouldn’t want this site down so I’d rather not download it =/
Excellent app Raymond,and it works with Opera as well!
Thanks Ray, I have follow your instruction and I have been register sucsesfully…Thanks again :)
Adblock plus is a simpler and cheaper option (it’s free) and easy to disable when you want it to (either manually or thru a whitelist). And it doesn’t just block, it prevents it from being loaded in the first place.
excellent ray u rock man .Tnks for the info mate.BTW this program rocks.
nice tricks. Thanks raymond
Thanks for saving bandwidth
Nice
Thank you
Awesome, awesome, awesome! Installed perfectly, looking forward to experience it in action. My friends, family & clients will LOVE me for sharing this with them. Keep up the good work Ray!!!
@ tampaba1:
you haven’t followed Ray’s instructions properly.
Reread…
I use a host script mvps,but the only annoying thing is it blocks everything so sometimes sites dont load.
thanks man it is better than anything
I tried it following the directions carefully and it still tells me I’m not in Poland. Any suggestions?
Im using Adblock Plus both for Internet Explorer and Firefox and wouldnt want any other.
And its free!
