Editor's review of Sir AdGuard
stars
- "Sir AdGuard"
- Version reviewed: Sir AdGuard 1
Sir AdGuard effectively blocks some advertisements and malicious programs while you surf the Internet, but it also blocks some safe and trusted sites.
The small, bare-bones interface contains a single button for scanning your computer for threats. During system scans, Sir AdGuard connects to the publisher to download updates, but we found the process slowed our test computers. The program blocked most advertisement banners and images from harmful sites, but some desirable Web sites also are blocked.
Unlike many similar utilities, Sir AdGuard doesn't allow users to construct lists of allowable and disallowed ad sites. It will be difficult for most users to accurately gauge Sir AdGuard's effectiveness during the short three-day trial. Without the ability to construct protected sites or remove sites from being blocked, we can't recommend this utility. There are many more flexible utilities in this class.
