Why you shouldn't click on pop-up ads

Clicking on an intrusive pop-up is high-risk. Most of these aren't vetted by reputable ad networks; they often host scripts that trigger trojan downloads or redirect you to phishing sites designed to harvest your banking credentials.

Accidental clicks are a genuine threat if ads make it onto your screen. AdBlock Network blocks the request before it even downloads. Our local firewall updates via read-only asynchronous requests to multiple independent endpoints, intercepting the ad script via the Address layer.
