OREANDA-NEWS. March 31, 2016. Kaspersky Lab has today announced the new application for iOS, Kaspersky AdCleaner, a free extension for Safari that automatically blocks advertising banners, links and popup windows in web pages opened on a mobile device.

Mobile users today want quick access to information, but sometimes in order to get to a website on their mobile device, they have to first weave through various advertisements. These popups can take up space on a small mobile screen, resulting in an accidental click by a consumer. To help avoid this issue, Kaspersky AdCleaner filters the content of websites opened in Safari, removing advertising that prevents consumers from viewing website information properly. In this way, the application makes surfing the web faster and more convenient, with less hassle.

“Kaspersky Lab believes that no detail is too small when it comes to Internet security. Consumers have the right to choose what to see or not see online. Filtering advertising with Kaspersky AdCleaner helps to avoid accidentally tapping on advertising banners, which can result in following potentially dangerous links or seeing unwanted content. This also helps to protect the user’s privacy: ad agencies will not be able to track the user’s actions online,” commented Alexey Chikov, Senior Product Manager, Kaspersky Lab.

The application is available in the App Store for limited number of countries, in English and in Russian, and supports iOS 9 or higher (starting from iPhone 5s, iPad Air, iPad Mini 2). Kaspersky AdCleaner complements the portfolio of Kaspersky Lab applications for iOS, which includes Kaspersky Safe Kids, Kaspersky Password Manager, Kaspersky Safe Browser, and Kaspersky QR Scanner.
