What’s an ad blocker?

An ad blocker is a program designed to make the Web cleaner and safer and protect your privacy. AdGuard blocks pop-up ads, banners, and video ads — even on YouTube. It removes cookies and tracking requests. It knows what websites are dangerous and ensures you don’t visit any of them.

Why is AdGuard better than other ad blockers?

Most ad blockers are browser extensions that can’t remove all types of ads. If you’re using more than one browser, you’ll need to install an ad-blocking extension for each of them. And if you want to block ads in apps, you just won’t be able to. AdGuard offers apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. With them, you can block ads in browsers and apps, prevent websites and companies from tracking you, and protect yourself from phishing and malware. AdGuard also speeds up page loading, allows you to manage DNS servers and web requests, and has in-app support. You can learn more from our comparison table.

Hacked websites could be using your computer to mine cryptocurrency

According to a recent report from AdGuard, more than 200 of the top 100,000 sites on the web were hosting suspicious code. That may not seem like a big deal, but even sites near the bottom of that list draw a huge amount of traffic. The most popular one on AdGuard's list regularly pulls in around 60 million visits every month.

In total, AdGuard discovered cryptocurrency mining code on 220 sites over a three-week period. During that time around 500 million users unknowingly ran that code on their computers.

“How much money have these websites made? We estimate their joint profit at over $43,000,” the AdGuard researchers said in an October blogpost that detailed their discovery. At the time, one bitcoin was worth around $5,000.

An ad blocker is a program designed to make the Web cleaner and safer and protect your privacy. AdGuard blocks pop-up ads, banners, and video ads — even on YouTube. It removes cookies and tracking requests. It knows what websites are dangerous and ensures you don’t visit any of them.
Most ad blockers are browser extensions that can’t remove all types of ads. If you’re using more than one browser, you’ll need to install an ad-blocking extension for each of them. And if you want to block ads in apps, you just won’t be able to.

AdGuard offers apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. With them, you can block ads in browsers and apps, prevent websites and companies from tracking you, and protect yourself from phishing and malware. AdGuard also speeds up page loading, allows you to manage DNS servers and web requests, and has in-app support. You can learn more from our comparison table.
We have apps for all popular platforms. AdGuard for Windows, Mac, and Android can be downloaded directly from this page. AdGuard for iOS is available on the App Store. Installation shouldn't be a problem, but you can always check the instructions in our Knowledge base.
Our full-fledged apps for Windows, Mac, and Android offer you a free trial — that’s how you can discover all the features AdGuard has to offer.

Our apps for Android and iOS also have free versions. They can be helpful as well: the free version of AdGuard for Android can block ads in browsers, and the free version of AdGuard for iOS blocks ads and trackers in Safari. But their functionality is limited: to block ads in apps, control DNS requests, protect yourself from malicious domains, and more, you’ll need a full version.

AdGuard also has completely free browser extensions. To learn more about the difference between the AdGuard extensions and full-fledged apps, check out our comparison table.
Sure! AdGuard supports all popular platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. The best way to use AdGuard on multiple devices is to buy a license, download the AdGuard app for the needed platform, and log in to it with your license key or AdGuard account credentials.
You don’t necessarily have to buy a license to use AdGuard. But here are some ideas about how it can make your life better:

A license gives you access to advanced features of AdGuard for Android or iOS: ad blocking in apps, DNS protection, firewall, statistics, app management, and others. It also allows you to use AdGuard for Windows and Mac.

With a license, you can use AdGuard on multiple devices and thus protect your family and friends.

If you like AdGuard, that’s how you can support us.

Sure! You can buy a license on a special page and enter the recipient's email — we'll send them a license with a nice gift card. Discounts are applied to gift licenses, too.
We’ve been developing privacy-oriented products since 2009 and have more than 160 million users worldwide. We never share your personal information with anyone and only collect strictly necessary data to run our websites and apps. You can read more in our Privacy policy.
If you want to know more about how exactly AdGuard products work, what filters are, how to create your own filtering rules, and more, check out our Knowledge base. For industry news, AdGuard releases, and promos, you can visit our blog. And if you’d like, you can watch our explanatory videos on AdGuard’s YouTube channel or follow us on social media.
You can share AdGuard with your friends. Whether you buy more licenses and connect your loved ones to AdGuard, buy a license as a gift, share our posts on social networks, or just advise our products to someone you care about — we’re always glad to show more people how beautiful the safe and ad-free Web is.

You can rate us in app stores and on our website. That’s how we know we’re on the right track.

You can also become our contributor: maybe you’re good at translating, know how to improve our filters or the Knowledge base, or want to become a beta tester? We are grateful to our contributors and reward them in return — with AdGuard licenses and gifts.
For any questions, you can always contact us at support@adguard.com.

You can choose how many devices you want to protect:

Personal license covers 3 devices

Family license covers 9 devices

You can also choose between 1-year and lifetime licenses.

AdGuard licenses are universal and work on any device (Windows, macOS, Android, or iOS).
We’ve emailed you your license info and further instructions.

The next step is to activate AdGuard on your device. Check out our Knowledge base for detailed instructions.
To use your license on a new device, first remove it for the current device in the License section of your app or in your AdGuard account. Then activate your license on the new device. Check out our Knowledge base for detailed instructions.
If you need to protect more than 3 devices, you can upgrade to the Family license.

Log in to your AdGuard account and click Increase device limit.

Or go directly to our Extend or upgrade page and enter your activation code manually. Then select the license parameters and follow the on-screen instructions.

Alternatively, you can simply purchase another Personal license.
You can always see your activation codes in your AdGuard account linked to the email address you used for the purchase.
Subscriptions purchased from the AdGuard website are renewed automatically.

However, if you’d like to manually renew your license, or if you purchased an AdGuard license from a reseller, try one of the following options:

In your AdGuard app, find the License tab and click Renew.

In your AdGuard account, go to Licenses. Find the license that’s about to expire and click Extend.

On our website, go to the Extend or upgrade page, enter your activation code, and click Apply.
There are several ways to get premium features in AdGuard for iOS:

1. Buy a subscription from the App Store. In the app, tap Try for free and follow the on-screen instructions. You don’t have to pay right away — try Premium for free for 7 days before purchasing a subscription.

2. Use an existing AdGuard license. In AdGuard for iOS, go to Settings → License and click Log in. Enter your AdGuard account credentials. Alternatively, you can enter your activation code directly in the email field.

3. Get AdGuard Pro. This is our paid iOS app that comes with premium features already enabled.
Most ad blockers are browser extensions that are not technically capable of removing all types of ads. AdGuard can block ads in all browsers and even apps. In addition to ad blocking, AdGuard gives you a lot of extra tools.

You can cancel your subscription in your AdGuard account:

Go to your AdGuard account.

Go to the Licenses tab.

Click Cancel subscription for the subscription you no longer need.

The canceled subscription will be valid until its expiry date.

For information on managing AdGuard subscriptions, please visit our Knowledge base.

That may not seem like a big deal, but even sites near the bottom of that list draw a huge amount of traffic. The most popular one on AdGuard's list regularly pulls in around 60 million visits every month.

In total, AdGuard discovered cryptocurrency mining code on 220 sites over a three-week period. During that time around 500 million users unknowingly ran that code on their computers.

An ad blocker is a program designed to make the Web cleaner and safer and protect your privacy. AdGuard blocks pop-up ads, banners, and video ads — even on YouTube. It removes cookies and tracking requests. It knows what websites are dangerous and ensures you don’t visit any of them.
Most ad blockers are browser extensions that can’t remove all types of ads. If you’re using more than one browser, you’ll need to install an ad-blocking extension for each of them. And if you want to block ads in apps, you just won’t be able to.

AdGuard offers apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. With them, you can block ads in browsers and apps, prevent websites and companies from tracking you, and protect yourself from phishing and malware. AdGuard also speeds up page loading, allows you to manage DNS servers and web requests, and has in-app support. You can learn more from our comparison table.
We have apps for all popular platforms. AdGuard for Windows, Mac, and Android can be downloaded directly from this page. AdGuard for iOS is available on the App Store. Installation shouldn't be a problem, but you can always check the instructions in our Knowledge base.
Our full-fledged apps for Windows, Mac, and Android offer you a free trial — that’s how you can discover all the features AdGuard has to offer.

Our apps for Android and iOS also have free versions. They can be helpful as well: the free version of AdGuard for Android can block ads in browsers, and the free version of AdGuard for iOS blocks ads and trackers in Safari. But their functionality is limited: to block ads in apps, control DNS requests, protect yourself from malicious domains, and more, you’ll need a full version.

AdGuard also has completely free browser extensions. To learn more about the difference between the AdGuard extensions and full-fledged apps, check out our comparison table.
Sure! AdGuard supports all popular platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. The best way to use AdGuard on multiple devices is to buy a license, download the AdGuard app for the needed platform, and log in to it with your license key or AdGuard account credentials.
You don’t necessarily have to buy a license to use AdGuard. But here are some ideas about how it can make your life better:

A license gives you access to advanced features of AdGuard for Android or iOS: ad blocking in apps, DNS protection, firewall, statistics, app management, and others. It also allows you to use AdGuard for Windows and Mac.

With a license, you can use AdGuard on multiple devices and thus protect your family and friends.

If you like AdGuard, that’s how you can support us.

Sure! You can buy a license on a special page and enter the recipient's email — we'll send them a license with a nice gift card. Discounts are applied to gift licenses, too.
We’ve been developing privacy-oriented products since 2009 and have more than 160 million users worldwide. We never share your personal information with anyone and only collect strictly necessary data to run our websites and apps. You can read more in our Privacy policy.
If you want to know more about how exactly AdGuard products work, what filters are, how to create your own filtering rules, and more, check out our Knowledge base. For industry news, AdGuard releases, and promos, you can visit our blog. And if you’d like, you can watch our explanatory videos on AdGuard’s YouTube channel or follow us on social media.
You can share AdGuard with your friends. Whether you buy more licenses and connect your loved ones to AdGuard, buy a license as a gift, share our posts on social networks, or just advise our products to someone you care about — we’re always glad to show more people how beautiful the safe and ad-free Web is.

You can rate us in app stores and on our website. That’s how we know we’re on the right track.

Hacked websites could be using your computer to mine cryptocurrency

According to a recent report from AdGuard, more than 200 of the top 100,000 sites on the web were hosting suspicious code. That may not seem like a big deal, but even sites near the bottom of that list draw a huge amount of traffic. The most popular one on AdGuard's list regularly pulls in around 60 million visits every month.

In total, AdGuard discovered cryptocurrency mining code on 220 sites over a three-week period. During that time around 500 million users unknowingly ran that code on their computers.

“How much money have these websites made? We estimate their joint profit at over $43,000,” the AdGuard researchers said in an October blogpost that detailed their discovery. At the time, one bitcoin was worth around $5,000.

“We came across several very popular websites that secretly use the resources of users’ devices for cryptocurrency mining,” said Andrey Meshkov, co-founder of Adguard. “According to SimilarWeb, these four sites register 992m visits monthly.”

An ad blocker is a program designed to make the Web cleaner and safer and protect your privacy. AdGuard blocks pop-up ads, banners, and video ads — even on YouTube. It removes cookies and tracking requests. It knows what websites are dangerous and ensures you don’t visit any of them.
Most ad blockers are browser extensions that can’t remove all types of ads. If you’re using more than one browser, you’ll need to install an ad-blocking extension for each of them. And if you want to block ads in apps, you just won’t be able to.

AdGuard offers apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. With them, you can block ads in browsers and apps, prevent websites and companies from tracking you, and protect yourself from phishing and malware. AdGuard also speeds up page loading, allows you to manage DNS servers and web requests, and has in-app support. You can learn more from our comparison table.
We have apps for all popular platforms. AdGuard for Windows, Mac, and Android can be downloaded directly from this page. AdGuard for iOS is available on the App Store. Installation shouldn't be a problem, but you can always check the instructions in our Knowledge base.

AdGuard also has completely free browser extensions. To learn more about the difference between the AdGuard extensions and full-fledged apps, check out our comparison table.
Sure! AdGuard supports all popular platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. The best way to use AdGuard on multiple devices is to buy a license, download the AdGuard app for the needed platform, and log in to it with your license key or AdGuard account credentials.
You don’t necessarily have to buy a license to use AdGuard. But here are some ideas about how it can make your life better:

A license gives you access to advanced features of AdGuard for Android or iOS: ad blocking in apps, DNS protection, firewall, statistics, app management, and others. It also allows you to use AdGuard for Windows and Mac.

With a license, you can use AdGuard on multiple devices and thus protect your family and friends.

An ad blocker is a program designed to make the Web cleaner and safer and protect your privacy. AdGuard blocks pop-up ads, banners, and video ads — even on YouTube. It removes cookies and tracking requests. It knows what websites are dangerous and ensures you don’t visit any of them.
Most ad blockers are browser extensions that can’t remove all types of ads. If you’re using more than one browser, you’ll need to install an ad-blocking extension for each of them. And if you want to block ads in apps, you just won’t be able to.

AdGuard offers apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. With them, you can block ads in browsers and apps, prevent websites and companies from tracking you, and protect yourself from phishing and malware. AdGuard also speeds up page loading, allows you to manage DNS servers and web requests, and has in-app support. You can learn more from our comparison table.
We have apps for all popular platforms. AdGuard for Windows, Mac, and Android can be downloaded directly from this page. AdGuard for iOS is available on the App Store. Installation shouldn't be a problem, but you can always check the instructions in our Knowledge base.
Our full-fledged apps for Windows, Mac, and Android offer you a free trial — that’s how you can discover all the features AdGuard has to offer.

Our apps for Android and iOS also have free versions. They can be helpful as well: the free version of AdGuard for Android can block ads in browsers, and the free version of AdGuard for iOS blocks ads and trackers in Safari. But their functionality is limited: to block ads in apps, control DNS requests, protect yourself from malicious domains, and more, you’ll need a full version.

AdGuard also has completely free browser extensions. To learn more about the difference between the AdGuard extensions and full-fledged apps, check out our comparison table.
Sure! AdGuard supports all popular platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. The best way to use AdGuard on multiple devices is to buy a license, download the AdGuard app for the needed platform, and log in to it with your license key or AdGuard account credentials.
You don’t necessarily have to buy a license to use AdGuard. But here are some ideas about how it can make your life better:

A license gives you access to advanced features of AdGuard for Android or iOS: ad blocking in apps, DNS protection, firewall, statistics, app management, and others. It also allows you to use AdGuard for Windows and Mac.

With a license, you can use AdGuard on multiple devices and thus protect your family and friends.

If you like AdGuard, that’s how you can support us.

Sure! You can buy a license on a special page and enter the recipient's email — we'll send them a license with a nice gift card. Discounts are applied to gift licenses, too.
We’ve been developing privacy-oriented products since 2009 and have more than 160 million users worldwide. We never share your personal information with anyone and only collect strictly necessary data to run our websites and apps. You can read more in our Privacy policy.
If you want to know more about how exactly AdGuard products work, what filters are, how to create your own filtering rules, and more, check out our Knowledge base. For industry news, AdGuard releases, and promos, you can visit our blog. And if you’d like, you can watch our explanatory videos on AdGuard’s YouTube channel or follow us on social media.
You can share AdGuard with your friends. Whether you buy more licenses and connect your loved ones to AdGuard, buy a license as a gift, share our posts on social networks, or just advise our products to someone you care about — we’re always glad to show more people how beautiful the safe and ad-free Web is.

You can rate us in app stores and on our website. That’s how we know we’re on the right track.

Hacked websites could be using your computer to mine cryptocurrency

According to a recent report from AdGuard, more than 200 of the top 100,000 sites on the web were hosting suspicious code.

The most popular one on AdGuard's list regularly pulls in around 60 million visits every month.

In total, AdGuard discovered cryptocurrency mining code on 220 sites over a three-week period. During that time around 500 million users unknowingly ran that code on their computers.

According to a recent report from AdGuard, more than 200 of the top 100,000 sites on the web were hosting suspicious code. That may not seem like a big deal, but even sites near the bottom of that list draw a huge amount of traffic. The most popular one on AdGuard's list regularly pulls in around 60 million visits every month.

In total, AdGuard discovered cryptocurrency mining code on 220 sites over a three-week period. During that time around 500 million users unknowingly ran that code on their computers.

An ad blocker is a program designed to make the Web cleaner and safer and protect your privacy. AdGuard blocks pop-up ads, banners, and video ads — even on YouTube. It removes cookies and tracking requests. It knows what websites are dangerous and ensures you don’t visit any of them.
Most ad blockers are browser extensions that can’t remove all types of ads. If you’re using more than one browser, you’ll need to install an ad-blocking extension for each of them. And if you want to block ads in apps, you just won’t be able to.

AdGuard offers apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. With them, you can block ads in browsers and apps, prevent websites and companies from tracking you, and protect yourself from phishing and malware. AdGuard also speeds up page loading, allows you to manage DNS servers and web requests, and has in-app support. You can learn more from our comparison table.
We have apps for all popular platforms. AdGuard for Windows, Mac, and Android can be downloaded directly from this page. AdGuard for iOS is available on the App Store. Installation shouldn't be a problem, but you can always check the instructions in our Knowledge base.
Our full-fledged apps for Windows, Mac, and Android offer you a free trial — that’s how you can discover all the features AdGuard has to offer.

AdGuard also has completely free browser extensions. To learn more about the difference between the AdGuard extensions and full-fledged apps, check out our comparison table.
Sure! AdGuard supports all popular platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. The best way to use AdGuard on multiple devices is to buy a license, download the AdGuard app for the needed platform, and log in to it with your license key or AdGuard account credentials.
You don’t necessarily have to buy a license to use AdGuard. But here are some ideas about how it can make your life better:

A license gives you access to advanced features of AdGuard for Android or iOS: ad blocking in apps, DNS protection, firewall, statistics, app management, and others. It also allows you to use AdGuard for Windows and Mac.

With a license, you can use AdGuard on multiple devices and thus protect your family and friends.

An ad blocker is a program designed to make the Web cleaner and safer and protect your privacy. AdGuard blocks pop-up ads, banners, and video ads — even on YouTube. It removes cookies and tracking requests. It knows what websites are dangerous and ensures you don’t visit any of them.
Most ad blockers are browser extensions that can’t remove all types of ads. If you’re using more than one browser, you’ll need to install an ad-blocking extension for each of them. And if you want to block ads in apps, you just won’t be able to.

AdGuard offers apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. With them, you can block ads in browsers and apps, prevent websites and companies from tracking you, and protect yourself from phishing and malware. AdGuard also speeds up page loading, allows you to manage DNS servers and web requests, and has in-app support. You can learn more from our comparison table.
We have apps for all popular platforms. AdGuard for Windows, Mac, and Android can be downloaded directly from this page. AdGuard for iOS is available on the App Store. Installation shouldn't be a problem, but you can always check the instructions in our Knowledge base.
Our full-fledged apps for Windows, Mac, and Android offer you a free trial — that’s how you can discover all the features AdGuard has to offer.

Our apps for Android and iOS also have free versions. They can be helpful as well: the free version of AdGuard for Android can block ads in browsers, and the free version of AdGuard for iOS blocks ads and trackers in Safari. But their functionality is limited: to block ads in apps, control DNS requests, protect yourself from malicious domains, and more, you’ll need a full version.

AdGuard also has completely free browser extensions. To learn more about the difference between the AdGuard extensions and full-fledged apps, check out our comparison table.
Sure! AdGuard supports all popular platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. The best way to use AdGuard on multiple devices is to buy a license, download the AdGuard app for the needed platform, and log in to it with your license key or AdGuard account credentials.
You don’t necessarily have to buy a license to use AdGuard. But here are some ideas about how it can make your life better:

A license gives you access to advanced features of AdGuard for Android or iOS: ad blocking in apps, DNS protection, firewall, statistics, app management, and others. It also allows you to use AdGuard for Windows and Mac.

With a license, you can use AdGuard on multiple devices and thus protect your family and friends.

If you like AdGuard, that’s how you can support us.

Sure! You can buy a license on a special page and enter the recipient's email — we'll send them a license with a nice gift card. Discounts are applied to gift licenses, too.
We’ve been developing privacy-oriented products since 2009 and have more than 160 million users worldwide. We never share your personal information with anyone and only collect strictly necessary data to run our websites and apps. You can read more in our Privacy policy.
If you want to know more about how exactly AdGuard products work, what filters are, how to create your own filtering rules, and more, check out our Knowledge base. For industry news, AdGuard releases, and promos, you can visit our blog. And if you’d like, you can watch our explanatory videos on AdGuard’s YouTube channel or follow us on social media.
You can share AdGuard with your friends. Whether you buy more licenses and connect your loved ones to AdGuard, buy a license as a gift, share our posts on social networks, or just advise our products to someone you care about — we’re always glad to show more people how beautiful the safe and ad-free Web is.

According to a recent report from AdGuard, more than 200 of the top 100,000 sites on the web were hosting suspicious code. That may not seem like a big deal, but even sites near the bottom of that list draw a huge amount of traffic. The most popular one on AdGuard's list regularly pulls in around 60 million visits every month.

In total, AdGuard discovered cryptocurrency mining code on 220 sites over a three-week period. During that time around 500 million users unknowingly ran that code on their computers.

AdGuard review

AdGuard is a robust, widely compatible ad blocker. We recommend it to anyone seeking a good ad-blocking tool.

Hacked websites could be using your computer to mine cryptocurrency

According to a recent report from AdGuard, more than 200 of the top 100,000 sites on the web were hosting suspicious code. That may not seem like a big deal, but even sites near the bottom of that list draw a huge amount of traffic. The most popular one on AdGuard's list regularly pulls in around 60 million visits every month.

In total, AdGuard discovered cryptocurrency mining code on 220 sites over a three-week period. During that time around 500 million users unknowingly ran that code on their computers.

Bitcoin mining on track to consume all of the world’s energy by 2020

More than half a billion people may be inadvertently mining cryptocurrencies from their computers, smartphones and other devices, according to research conducted earlier this year by ad blocking firm AdGuard.

“How much money have these websites made? We estimate their joint profit at over $43,000,” the AdGuard researchers said in an October blogpost that detailed their discovery. At the time, one bitcoin was worth around $5,000.

Billions of video site visitors unwittingly mine cryptocurrency as they watch

The video sites Openload, Streamango, Rapidvideo and OnlineVideoConverter are allegedly loading mining software on to visitors’ computers, making them generate tokens for the bitcoin-like cryptocurrency Monero, according to security firm Adguard.

“We came across several very popular websites that secretly use the resources of users’ devices for cryptocurrency mining,” said Andrey Meshkov, co-founder of Adguard. “According to SimilarWeb, these four sites register 992m visits monthly.”

Why hackers love cryptocurrency miner coinhive

Although the developers aren't saying how much money they've made from their idea, online ad-blocking service AdGuard also found the Coinhive miner on over 30,000 sites and estimates the code generates $150,000 in Monero every month. For Coinhive, which takes a 30 percent cut, that amounts to $540,000 per year.

An ad blocker is a program designed to make the Web cleaner and safer and protect your privacy. AdGuard blocks pop-up ads, banners, and video ads — even on YouTube. It removes cookies and tracking requests. It knows what websites are dangerous and ensures you don’t visit any of them.
Most ad blockers are browser extensions that can’t remove all types of ads. If you’re using more than one browser, you’ll need to install an ad-blocking extension for each of them. And if you want to block ads in apps, you just won’t be able to.

AdGuard offers apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. With them, you can block ads in browsers and apps, prevent websites and companies from tracking you, and protect yourself from phishing and malware. AdGuard also speeds up page loading, allows you to manage DNS servers and web requests, and has in-app support. You can learn more from our comparison table.
We have apps for all popular platforms. AdGuard for Windows, Mac, and Android can be downloaded directly from this page. AdGuard for iOS is available on the App Store. Installation shouldn't be a problem, but you can always check the instructions in our Knowledge base.
Our full-fledged apps for Windows, Mac, and Android offer you a free trial — that’s how you can discover all the features AdGuard has to offer.

Our apps for Android and iOS also have free versions. They can be helpful as well: the free version of AdGuard for Android can block ads in browsers, and the free version of AdGuard for iOS blocks ads and trackers in Safari. But their functionality is limited: to block ads in apps, control DNS requests, protect yourself from malicious domains, and more, you’ll need a full version.

AdGuard also has completely free browser extensions. To learn more about the difference between the AdGuard extensions and full-fledged apps, check out our comparison table.

According to a recent report from AdGuard, more than 200 of the top 100,000 sites on the web were hosting suspicious code.

The most popular one on AdGuard's list regularly pulls in around 60 million visits every month.

In total, AdGuard discovered cryptocurrency mining code on 220 sites over a three-week period. During that time around 500 million users unknowingly ran that code on their computers.

An ad blocker is a program designed to make the Web cleaner and safer and protect your privacy. AdGuard blocks pop-up ads, banners, and video ads — even on YouTube. It removes cookies and tracking requests. It knows what websites are dangerous and ensures you don’t visit any of them.
Most ad blockers are browser extensions that can’t remove all types of ads. If you’re using more than one browser, you’ll need to install an ad-blocking extension for each of them. And if you want to block ads in apps, you just won’t be able to.

AdGuard offers apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. With them, you can block ads in browsers and apps, prevent websites and companies from tracking you, and protect yourself from phishing and malware. AdGuard also speeds up page loading, allows you to manage DNS servers and web requests, and has in-app support. You can learn more from our comparison table.
We have apps for all popular platforms. AdGuard for Windows, Mac, and Android can be downloaded directly from this page. AdGuard for iOS is available on the App Store. Installation shouldn't be a problem, but you can always check the instructions in our Knowledge base.
Our full-fledged apps for Windows, Mac, and Android offer you a free trial — that’s how you can discover all the features AdGuard has to offer.

Our apps for Android and iOS also have free versions. They can be helpful as well: the free version of AdGuard for Android can block ads in browsers, and the free version of AdGuard for iOS blocks ads and trackers in Safari. But their functionality is limited: to block ads in apps, control DNS requests, protect yourself from malicious domains, and more, you’ll need a full version.

AdGuard also has completely free browser extensions. To learn more about the difference between the AdGuard extensions and full-fledged apps, check out our comparison table.
Sure! AdGuard supports all popular platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. The best way to use AdGuard on multiple devices is to buy a license, download the AdGuard app for the needed platform, and log in to it with your license key or AdGuard account credentials.
You don’t necessarily have to buy a license to use AdGuard. But here are some ideas about how it can make your life better:

A license gives you access to advanced features of AdGuard for Android or iOS: ad blocking in apps, DNS protection, firewall, statistics, app management, and others. It also allows you to use AdGuard for Windows and Mac.

With a license, you can use AdGuard on multiple devices and thus protect your family and friends.

AdGuard Blog What is a rug pull in crypto?

What is a rug pull in crypto?

April 24, 2025 12 min read

A rug pull in crypto refers to a fraudulent scheme where the creators or developers of a cryptocurrency project suddenly withdraw all liquidity or funds from the project, leaving investors with worthless tokens. It’s like the developers “pulling the rug” out from under the investors, causing a sudden collapse in value and leaving them with no way to recover their investments.

The lack of proper oversight and insufficient regulation makes decentralized finance (DeFi) and token launches vulnerable to this particular rug pull scam. So what is a rug pull in crypto? A rug pull occurs when developers receive significant investment in a project before they vanish with project funds leaving the token or coin worthless.

A crypto rug pull occurs when developers build a cryptocurrency or token project that creates trust among investors and attracts their funds. The developers behind a rug pull scam maintain control of both the liquidity pool and smart contract components of their project. The developers withdraw all project funds from investors after reaching their investment target by moving them to an address that cannot be tracked.

The value of tokens or cryptocurrencies collapses after this event because investors now possess assets that cannot be traded or have any monetary value. The investors end up with useless assets but the developers successfully obtain the funds. The sudden nature of these incidents provides no warning to the affected investors who have no available options.

Different types of rug pull scams exist in the market so understanding them becomes essential for protecting your assets from such scams. The cryptocurrency space experiences several known types of rug pull scams, which include:

Exit scams. In an exit scam, the developers intentionally create a project with the goal of defrauding investors from the start. After attracting a significant amount of investment, they quickly withdraw all the funds and disappear, leaving investors with worthless tokens. This type of rug pull scam is premeditated and often involves no intention of ever building the project. This is one of the most blatant forms of a crypto rug pull that leaves no room for recovery.
Smart contract flaws. Sometimes, rug pulls happen due to vulnerabilities or flaws in the smart contract code. Developers may intentionally leave a backdoor or exploit a bug that allows them to access and drain the liquidity pool. This can happen without the investors’ knowledge, and once the developers withdraw the funds, the project crashes, and the tokens lose their value. This form of crypto rug pull exploits technical weaknesses hidden in plain sight.
Pump-and-dump schemes. In pump-and-dump schemes, the value of a cryptocurrency is artificially inflated (the “pump”) through coordinated buying, misleading marketing, or social media hype. Once the price has risen significantly, the developers or insiders sell off their holdings (the “dump”), causing the price to plummet. The remaining investors are left with worthless tokens, while the scammers make a profit.

Each of these types of rug pulls exploits trust and lack of transparency, making them dangerous to investors in the crypto space.

How rug pulls work

Rug pulls consist of a systematic process that allows scammers to capitalize on the hype of new cryptocurrency projects before they vanish with investors’ money. Scammers initiate their scheme by developing new cryptocurrencies or tokens which they market as innovative and promising investment opportunities. These well-packaged schemes often serve as the foundation for a crypto rug pull that is planned from the beginning.

The project launch begins after setup and the creators initiate intensive promotion through social media platforms and cryptocurrency exchanges and influencer networks to promote the project. The project team uses incentives such as airdrops, rewards, and giveaways to increase public interest. The project team aims to generate intense enthusiasm that will push investors to participate during the “big potential” launch period.

The project begins to draw investments from its community members after it becomes more visible. The token price increases with each new purchase because marketing activities generate widespread interest among investors. The initial investors, who see potential in the project’s success, keep adding funds that boost token value and attract additional attention.

The developers execute the rug pull once the project reaches its target funding level and achieves sufficient liquidity. The developers execute the rug pull by taking away all project funds, through either smart contracts or direct withdrawals from liquidity pools. The developers sometimes choose to vanish without any traceable information. The developers behind the token could make sudden modifications to the smart contract that would either prevent investors from accessing their funds or render the token completely useless. This process reveals the true nature of the crypto rug pull after investor trust has already been fully exploited.

Example scenarios

The analysis requires an understanding of rug pulls because these scams present themselves through various methods and strategic approaches. The following hypothetical situations illustrate how rug pulls can unfold:

Scenario 1: A new token enters the market through a project website that promotes revolutionary technological advancements, while influencers advertise it on social media platforms. Social media influencers promote the project for the creators, resulting in rapid token adoption by users within weeks. As investors begin to invest in the token, its value increases due to their participation. The developers extract all funds from a well-filled liquidity pool, while investors end up with tokens that become untradeable. This classic example of a crypto rug pull highlights the speed and ease with which scammers can vanish.

Scenario 2: A decentralized finance (DeFi) project launches on an exchange platform where investors quickly embrace its offerings because of its low risk and high return potential. The developers exploit a vulnerability in the smart contract code to drain the liquidity pool shortly after receiving a large wave of investments, causing the token price to collapse. The developers vanish after stealing all the funds from the investors, who are now left with completely useless tokens.

These examples show how rug pulls occur by taking advantage of investor enthusiasm and poor research practices. Investors who fail to conduct adequate research become vulnerable to fraudulent projects, resulting in significant financial losses when the rug pull occurs.

Red flags to look out for

Before investing in a cryptocurrency project you should watch out for specific warning signs that may indicate a rug pull scheme. Knowing these warning signs can help you avoid falling for a scam.

Lack of transparency. A project should avoid being anonymous because the absence of transparency from the developer or team is a major warning sign. The team behind legitimate projects provides complete details about their members, along with their professional experience and qualifications. A project may be a scam if you cannot verify any information about the creators or their previous work.
Unrealistic promises. Be wary of investment opportunities that promise excessive profits, as such deals typically have suspicious elements. The nature of cryptocurrency investments creates a high level of risk, so no legitimate project can guarantee continuous profits. The project should be considered suspicious when it promises guaranteed wealth or minimal risk.
Unclear whitepapers or roadmaps. A clear, detailed whitepaper and roadmap are crucial for any credible cryptocurrency project. If a project lacks a well-defined whitepaper or roadmap, or is vague about the project’s goals and future plans, it could indicate that the developers don’t have a long-term vision or are simply trying to deceive investors.
No audit or poorly audited code. A project must avoid both unverified code and inadequate code audits. A trustworthy cryptocurrency project must undergo third-party audits to verify the security and absence of vulnerabilities in the smart contract and code. The absence of an audit or a subpar audit from a project might indicate that developers are trying to hide code vulnerabilities or malicious code intentions.
Unusual tokenomics. The tokenomics structure of a project should receive your careful examination. A project should raise warning signs if its token inflation rate exceeds normal levels,if the token lacks practical usage, or if its liquidity remains inaccessible for extended periods of time. By implementing these measures, developers are establishing a project exit strategy that will leave investors with worthless assets after the rug pull occurs.

Your ability to detect warning signs when investing in cryptocurrency will help you avoid rug pulls while making better investment decisions.

Impact of a rug pull

Rug pulls inflict severe damage on both individual crypto investors and the entire cryptocurrency market structure. The market consequences of rug pulls ripple throughout the market, influencing investor decisions while damaging industry reputation and leading to regulatory investigations. The following paragraphs demonstrate the main effects of rug pull incidents:

Financial losses for investors

A rug pull event results in severe financial losses for participating investors. The victims of rug pulls discover their worthless tokens after investing months or weeks, only to find themselves empty-handed when the liquidity is drained. The value collapse wipes out all invested funds without any chance for investors to recover their capital. The scam inflicts maximum pain on investors who trusted the initial promises of high returns before their investments vanished completely. These investors face a complete loss of their funds because they have no way to retrieve their investments.

Impact on the crypto market

The cryptocurrency market suffers substantial negative effects when rug pulls occur. The rising number of scams creates an atmosphere of doubt that spreads throughout the market. The fear of rug pull attacks causes investors to avoid new projects because they believe these initiatives could become the next victim of a scam. The lack of trust resulting from rug pulls causes market activity to slow down while deterring new investments, which ultimately damages the development of the cryptocurrency ecosystem. The negative reputation of these scams creates a barrier that prevents trustworthy developers from successfully launching their projects.

Regulatory concerns

The rise in rug pulls has raised concerns among regulators and lawmakers. As scams continue to proliferate, there is growing pressure on governments to implement more stringent regulations to protect investors. Regulatory scrutiny is intensifying as authorities seek to combat fraud and ensure the integrity of the crypto space. Increased oversight could involve stricter project transparency requirements, mandatory audits, and enhanced investor protection mechanisms. While regulation could help reduce fraud, it may also add compliance burdens for developers and could potentially stifle innovation in the sector.

How to protect yourself from rug pulls

Protecting yourself from rug pulls requires careful research and caution. Learn how a crypto rug pull works and watch for early warning signs. Here are simple steps to reduce your risk:

Researching about any cryptocurrency project must be your first step before making an investment. Review the project’s whitepaper to learn about its objectives and strategic plans. Verify the project team members by checking their established track record and their publicly available profiles that can be verified. Assess the project’s social media activity and community interactions to determine its authenticity. A project with insufficient transparency or limited available information should raise red flags.
Choose exchanges that maintain a strong reputation through their rigorous project listing process. Popular cryptocurrency platforms implement authentication systems for tokens and projects which helps minimize fraudulent activities. Investors should stay away from unverified exchanges that list unregulated or suspicious tokens because they lack proper verification procedures.
The security and trustworthiness of a project can be determined through third-party audits of its smart contracts by reputable firms. The audits verify that the contract code maintains security by detecting any potential vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit. Before investing, review the project’s audit report to ensure it has been formally audited and look for any critical warnings or issues.
The crypto industry is constantly changing, so it is important to stay abreast of new scams and rug pull developments. Keep up to date with potential scams by following crypto communities and blogs alongside news sources that specialize in reporting on crypto scams. Being aware of typical scam methods will help you spot warning signs in time.
Don’t invest all your money in a single project until it’s established and has been properly vetted. Spreading your investments across multiple projects protects your entire investment from loss when a single project turns out to be fraudulent. Your portfolio will be safer if you spread your investments across different projects because cryptocurrency markets tend to be volatile.
Taking these safety measures will help you minimize rug pull risks so you can invest in crypto with more knowledge and security.

Legal implications and regulation

The rapid evolution of cryptocurrency law follows the increasing frequency of rug pulls in the market. Both regulatory bodies and governments are paying attention to this trend, which could lead to major consequences for scammers and the entire industry. The following section examines the legal penalties that rug pull creators face, while discussing the growing regulation of the crypto space and potential future developments in crypto regulation.

The creators of rug pull scams face severe legal penalties because these activities are considered fraudulent. The legal system of each jurisdiction can prosecute scammers through fraud charges, theft accusations, or alternative criminal offenses that involve deceptive investor practices and illegal theft of funds. The authorities have the power to file civil lawsuits which seek to recover financial losses from investors who were affected by rug pulls. The developers who conduct rug pulls may face legal consequences, including fines and imprisonment, depending on the severity of their fraud and the amount of money involved. The expanding crypto industry will likely lead to stronger legal systems that can better punish scammers for their criminal activities.

The crypto industry faces ongoing rug pull incidents that have drawn increased attention from regulators looking to oversee cryptocurrency projects. Various national authorities plan to establish more stringent rules that will protect investors from fraud while preventing fraudulent activities. Governments are exploring new regulations that would require project transparency while establishing rigorous launch requirements and enforce mandatory disclosure practices. Regulators require project audits and compliance checks as mandatory steps for both project launch and exchange listing approval. These regulations aim to enhance accountability while minimizing rug pull scams, but they may pose challenges for developers who work in this space.

Future cryptocurrency regulation will expand into standardized frameworks that govern the industry. Governments plan to establish worldwide regulatory systems that will establish fair competition standards while enforcing legal boundaries for cryptocurrency projects. The implementation of KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) procedures will create barriers for anonymous developers who want to execute rug pulls. Better tracking and tracing tools developed by authorities will create obstacles for scammers to avoid punishment. The successful implementation of crypto regulation depends on striking the right balance between legal oversight and innovation development in this field. As the industry matures, new regulations will enhance investor protection through new regulations, which will also serve to prevent fraudulent activities.

Conclusion

The cryptocurrency space faces a major threat from rug pulls because attackers take advantage of investor trust to achieve financial benefits. So what is a rug pull in crypto? It refers to a scam where developers or creators of a cryptocurrency project suddenly withdraw all funds, leaving investors with worthless tokens. The financial damage from these scams leads to severe monetary losses and damages the crypto market’s reputation, while drawing increased regulatory oversight. Investors who understand rug pull operations and learn to identify warning signs alongside implementing protective strategies will reduce their exposure to risks and make better investment choices.

As the crypto industry expands, regulators and investors must develop new approaches that create a safer and more transparent environment. Ongoing anti-scam initiatives and regulatory improvements suggest that cryptocurrency security will improve for all stakeholders in the future. Investors must exercise caution when dealing with new projects because complete security measures have not yet been established.

An ad blocker is a program designed to make the Web cleaner and safer and protect your privacy. AdGuard blocks pop-up ads, banners, and video ads — even on YouTube. It removes cookies and tracking requests. It knows what websites are dangerous and ensures you don’t visit any of them.
Most ad blockers are browser extensions that can’t remove all types of ads. If you’re using more than one browser, you’ll need to install an ad-blocking extension for each of them. And if you want to block ads in apps, you just won’t be able to.

AdGuard offers apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. With them, you can block ads in browsers and apps, prevent websites and companies from tracking you, and protect yourself from phishing and malware. AdGuard also speeds up page loading, allows you to manage DNS servers and web requests, and has in-app support. You can learn more from our comparison table.
We have apps for all popular platforms. AdGuard for Windows, Mac, and Android can be downloaded directly from this page. AdGuard for iOS is available on the App Store. Installation shouldn't be a problem, but you can always check the instructions in our Knowledge base.
Our full-fledged apps for Windows, Mac, and Android offer you a free trial — that’s how you can discover all the features AdGuard has to offer.

Our apps for Android and iOS also have free versions. They can be helpful as well: the free version of AdGuard for Android can block ads in browsers, and the free version of AdGuard for iOS blocks ads and trackers in Safari. But their functionality is limited: to block ads in apps, control DNS requests, protect yourself from malicious domains, and more, you’ll need a full version.

AdGuard also has completely free browser extensions. To learn more about the difference between the AdGuard extensions and full-fledged apps, check out our comparison table.
Sure! AdGuard supports all popular platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. The best way to use AdGuard on multiple devices is to buy a license, download the AdGuard app for the needed platform, and log in to it with your license key or AdGuard account credentials.
You don’t necessarily have to buy a license to use AdGuard. But here are some ideas about how it can make your life better:

A license gives you access to advanced features of AdGuard for Android or iOS: ad blocking in apps, DNS protection, firewall, statistics, app management, and others. It also allows you to use AdGuard for Windows and Mac.

With a license, you can use AdGuard on multiple devices and thus protect your family and friends.

If you like AdGuard, that’s how you can support us.

Sure! You can buy a license on a special page and enter the recipient's email — we'll send them a license with a nice gift card. Discounts are applied to gift licenses, too.
We’ve been developing privacy-oriented products since 2009 and have more than 160 million users worldwide. We never share your personal information with anyone and only collect strictly necessary data to run our websites and apps. You can read more in our Privacy policy.
If you want to know more about how exactly AdGuard products work, what filters are, how to create your own filtering rules, and more, check out our Knowledge base. For industry news, AdGuard releases, and promos, you can visit our blog. And if you’d like, you can watch our explanatory videos on AdGuard’s YouTube channel or follow us on social media.
You can share AdGuard with your friends. Whether you buy more licenses and connect your loved ones to AdGuard, buy a license as a gift, share our posts on social networks, or just advise our products to someone you care about — we’re always glad to show more people how beautiful the safe and ad-free Web is.

You can rate us in app stores and on our website. That’s how we know we’re on the right track.

You can also become our contributor: maybe you’re good at translating, know how to improve our filters or the Knowledge base, or want to become a beta tester? We are grateful to our contributors and reward them in return — with AdGuard licenses and gifts.
For any questions, you can always contact us at support@adguard.com.

Hacked websites could be using your computer to mine cryptocurrency

According to a recent report from AdGuard, more than 200 of the top 100,000 sites on the web were hosting suspicious code. That may not seem like a big deal, but even sites near the bottom of that list draw a huge amount of traffic. The most popular one on AdGuard's list regularly pulls in around 60 million visits every month.

In total, AdGuard discovered cryptocurrency mining code on 220 sites over a three-week period. During that time around 500 million users unknowingly ran that code on their computers.

Bitcoin mining on track to consume all of the world’s energy by 2020

More than half a billion people may be inadvertently mining cryptocurrencies from their computers, smartphones and other devices, according to research conducted earlier this year by ad blocking firm AdGuard.

“How much money have these websites made? We estimate their joint profit at over $43,000,” the AdGuard researchers said in an October blogpost that detailed their discovery. At the time, one bitcoin was worth around $5,000.

Billions of video site visitors unwittingly mine cryptocurrency as they watch

The video sites Openload, Streamango, Rapidvideo and OnlineVideoConverter are allegedly loading mining software on to visitors’ computers, making them generate tokens for the bitcoin-like cryptocurrency Monero, according to security firm Adguard.

“We came across several very popular websites that secretly use the resources of users’ devices for cryptocurrency mining,” said Andrey Meshkov, co-founder of Adguard. “According to SimilarWeb, these four sites register 992m visits monthly.”

Why hackers love cryptocurrency miner coinhive

Although the developers aren't saying how much money they've made from their idea, online ad-blocking service AdGuard also found the Coinhive miner on over 30,000 sites and estimates the code generates $150,000 in Monero every month. For Coinhive, which takes a 30 percent cut, that amounts to $540,000 per year.

Не стоит вводить ключи с истекшим сроком действия, ключи, полученные по акции (бонусные) или бета-ключи, ключи к другим программам и случайные наборы символов, а также заполнять форму несколько раз, вводя один и тот же ключ – такие участники к розыгрышу допускаться не будут.
