Blocking banners

Anti-Banner blocks website banners from the list of known banners which is embedded in the Kaspersky application databases. If a banner is displayed on a web page even while Anti-Banner is running, this could mean that the banner is not in the list of known banners. You can manually block the display of this banner.

To block a banner, you must add it to the list of blocked banners. You can do this directly on the web page or in the Kaspersky application.

If a banner is on a website from the list of websites with allowed banners, you cannot block the display of this banner.
