Yo ho ho and a case of ransomware!
Recently on the popular The Pirate Bay torrent website there was malvertising (malicious ads), which led users to the Magnitude exploit kit pages infected with Cerber ransomware.
Today we have finally officially released new version of our Android app. This is a very important update, and we decided that we need to celebrate it somehow.
Lots of new features and bugfixes are awaiting you, and some of them are HUGE. If you keep track of our blog, or forum, you already know that the killer news of this release is adding the HTTPS filtering. And yes, this means no more ads in YouTube, Facebook or Twitter – you name it.
We have recently found an interesting article about websites that fight programs and extensions against ads. It is about websites which open windows like “You have an ad blocker, turn it off or go away” (well, something like that).
During the last couple of months that had passed since the 6.0 release we were able to track quite a lot of bugs and defects, which were crucial to fix, so we concentrated on them for a while. Finally, everything seems to be fixed and we are ready to turn on the autoupdate.
Get ready, it’s time for an ‘ambitious plans post': we decided to build a roadmap – gather ideas for all Adguard products in one place. If you’re interested in what we plan to add/update/change in our programs and apps, then this post will shed light on it!
