How the Ad-Blocker works, and fixing internet issues

Choose a filter level for the system-wide Ad-Blocker and restore your connection if a site stops loading.

What it does

The Ad-Blocker filters ads and trackers for every app and browser on your PC. No browser extension is needed.

Filter levels

  • Minimal: blocks the most common ad networks; lowest chance of breaking sites.
  • Optimum: recommended balance for most people.
  • Extreme: the largest list; may break some logins, videos or shopping sites.

A site doesn't load

  1. Switch to a lower level (Extreme → Optimum → Minimal).
  2. If it still fails, turn the Ad-Blocker off.

"Lists failed to load"

The filter lists couldn't be loaded. Check your internet connection and start the Ad-Blocker again.

No internet after a crash or forced shutdown

Open TuneUP, turn the Ad-Blocker off and back on, or restart your PC. If the problem continues, contact us.

The Free plan blocks up to 10,000 requests; Pro is unlimited.
