Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What kind of application is Ad-free | best ad blocker?
Ad-free | best ad blocker is the name of a browser extension that supposedly blocks online advertisements. Ironically, this app generates advertisements. Thus, we classified Ad-free | best ad blocker as adware. Our team discovered this app on a deceptive page that recommended adding it to a browser.
Ad-free | best ad blocker in detail
Ad-free | best ad blocker shows intrusive advertisements designed to promote various pages and apps. It shows pop-up ads, banners, coupons, and other advertising material. It is not recommended to trust ads displayed by adware since they often open untrustworthy websites.
Ads displayed by Ad-free | best ad blocker may open deceptive websites asking to provide sensitive information (e.g., credit card details, passwords), urging to call fake technical support numbers, instructing to download shady software, etc. Some of those ads may open malicious pages or cause unexpected downloads and installations.
In addition to displaying unwanted ads, Ad-free | best ad blocker can read and change data on all websites. It means that its creators may be using it to gather information about users that could be sold to third parties, used for marketing purposes, or monetized in other ways.

More about adware
It is also common for advertising-apps to be designed to hijack web browsers. In such cases, they not only show ads but also change the settings of a web browser. Typically, browser-hijacking apps promote fake (untrustworthy) search engines. Users rarely download and install (or add) adware and browser hijackers on purpose.
More examples of adware tested by our team are Screen Recorder, Moviesm, and Saving Files.
How did adware install on my computer?
Ad-free | best ad blocker is promoted via a deceptive page recommending adding this extension to a web browser. It gets added after following the instructions provided on that page. It is worth mentioning that multiple shady pages could be used to promote Ad-free | best ad blocker.
In other cases, adware is distributed via fake installers, software bundles, and shady advertisements. When other software is bundled with adware, installers have "Advanced", "Custom", or similar settings. Users agree to install/add adware when they finish installations without changing those settings.
How to avoid installation of unwanted applications?
Do not use unofficial websites, third-party downloaders (or stores), free file hosting pages, etc., to download applications or files. Always download them from official pages and stores. Also, do not trust ads displayed by or on suspicious websites. Never agree to receive notifications from such pages as well.
Finish downloading and installing programs only when unwanted apps are no longer selected (it can be achieved by changing the settings provided in setups). If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
