Hello.
I have installed Ad Muncher in its latest version and I use Firefox. But the program does not filter anything. I have attached the logs. I hope someone can help me to solve this problem.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards.

Ad Muncher is dead as a development for a long time use other alternatives such as Adguard etc....

Same thing happen to me. I was using Admuncher with I.E.10 and suddenly stop working for good.

 

Finally decided to upgrade to IE11 and forget about Admuncher.

 

Now I am using Adguard.

 

Took me a little time to decide but did it finally.

 

My recommendation, do the same thing, you are not going to regret.

Thank you very much for your answers! =)
Ad Muncher stopped working after using the DWS_Lite.exe tool.
Best regards.

Ad Muncher could have been something great if the developers hadn't given up on it. Shame really. I bought 2 lifetime licenses, as did hundreds of others, only to be slowly but surely let down by the devs.

I'm extremely happy with uBlock Origin now, however. Does a lot better job than Ad Muncher ever did, and it's free.

Have you ever found anything more effective than ublock?

It's the best ad blocker for Chrome at the moment imo. It's never sold out to advertisers like Ad Block has, and is always being updated.

Yes, it's also available on Firefox and Opera, hope it becomes available for MS Edge soon

But why it should? If you remember, the latest version was released on October 14 2014, from 19 October 2014, it  is freeware. After that it has not updated any longer. Not even their website is not updated.
Look at, how much has changed in that time all websites, as well as advertising.
So - why it should block something, if also all rules and scripts are more than outdated?

It was a conflict between ESET and Ad Muncher, it is already solved.
Many thanks to all.

Thread marked as such.

 

Still, it's recommended that you switch to something else here.

Am I alone here to very regulary receive filter list updates, between 5 and 10 per week ?

 

Filter list version is 7009, received automaticly yesterday 06/05/2016 ....

And I just do it manually and received list n° 7011 dated 07/05/2016.

 

And it's still filtering adverts using Firefox 46.0.1 on a Win10 64bits
