  Is it for a one time fee, or yearly license?
• Apr 23 2009 9:44pm
  Murray Hurps (Murray Hurps Corp Pty Ltd Vendor)
  This license will cover all v4.x releases of Ad Muncher, which are currently scheduled to continue into 2010. Once v5.0 is available, a small upgrade fee will be needed if you would like to upgrade.

  I understand there is no family license for multiple computers in a single household. If so, are you offering multiple licenses at the discounted price?
• Apr 28 2009 10:07pm
  Murray Hurps (Murray Hurps Corp Pty Ltd Vendor)
  Prasad: I'm glad to say the discount will indeed be available on top of our existing multi-license discounts.

  Great to hear. I used to use Intermute/Adsubstract way back in the past before they were acquired. I have tried IEpro-Ad Blocker, Firefox-Adblock Plus, Maxthon-Ad Hunter, and a couple others based on hosts files. While these also try to maintain lists and scripting it is hard for them to stay ahead of the advertisers. I was also sorry to hear of Rick Petnel passing away. His filter approach for Firefox was a worthy effort.
  However, your tool is much more flexible and works with all of the browsers. It even gets the sponsored text ads. Excellent!

  Thanks very much for the kind words Prasad. I'm biased of course but I really do think Ad Muncher offers the best out-of-the-box advert filtering available at the moment, and we'll continue to do everything we can to improve it further.

  Will this program affect the eBay site from loading? I am on eBay daily and hate how their site drags my page loads. I was reading reviews on other sites whereby consumers commented on some sites not loading at all with Ad Muncher installed.

  Very intersting software!
  What is this going to do to the survival of all the commercial sites that basically get subsidized by the adds?
  What if every computer had this software?
  Not against this software, just a comment-question.
• Apr 30 2009 5:54pm
  Murray Hurps (Murray Hurps Corp Pty Ltd Vendor)
  Dixie: we are not aware of any current conflicts with Ebay or any other site. We release updates on a daily basis to improve our ad blocking, so any issues are fixed within a short period.
  
  If you're unsure, please make use of our free trial to double-check things on your end.
  
  Raymond: Good question, Ad Muncher is generally only used by people who are sick of obnoxious, distracting, resource-hogging ads that they then just ignore anyway. These people wouldn't have clicked on the ad, so shouldn't affect the revenue models for advertisers when Ad Muncher removes them.

  Hello Mr. Hurps... I just tried the Trial version like you advised. Your trademark "cow" needs to be called "Holy Cow" cuz that's what I was saying when I was on eBay. Holy Cow... this is fast browsing. Thanks... I'll be purchasing this great deal!

  How Much (Visitor)
  Checking the web site I am disappointed to see there is now a pro version for $30 and this here must be the basic version. The question is - how much value does this add over reasonably well working free ad blockers. If I want the 'good' ad muncher protection for the 3 machines running (1 laptop for working, 1 netbook for convenience, 1 htpc - oh, plus various virtual machines for one or another thing) it is at least 80 bucks. Looking at upgrade pricing for the basic version it is around 13.50 a year or $55 for unlimited updates. Sorry, but this is just not compelling and I'll stick with ad-block. It would be if I could get a license for me (the person) rather than every machine. Getting one for the main machine is not an option as I don't want to put up with the inconsistent experience. I bet I am not the only one thinking this way - you'd sell more volume with lower pricing.

• Mar 31 2010 10:29am
  Murray Hurps (Murray Hurps Corp Pty Ltd Vendor)
  M M: I'm not sure what you're referring to, could you please clarify exactly what you're clicking on and what is being displayed?
  
  How Much: I'm very sorry that you think this way. We charge for Ad Muncher so that we can afford to employ developers to maintain and improve the program, and we only charge for renewals so that we can continue to provide this service into the future. Please do compare Ad Muncher to any free alternatives, I'm sure you'll find the quality of filtering we provide worth paying for.

  It seems like this page has ended the offer prematurely, but I could be mistaken. I've contacted the folks at Bits du Jour to confirm.

  Hello,
  I understand that Ad Muncher is subscription-based with an update period of one year, and in that period one get software updated within the main version + filter updates.
  
  Will Ad Muncher continue to work -- obviously without updates -- after the subscription period?
  
  Regards,

  In my opinion the most distracting things are not the ads itself, but the animations of them.
  
  Can I let AdMuncher just remove these animations, i.e. making from an animated gif-imge (or flash-animations, etc.) a still image?
  Also I would like to let selected animations run with a context-menu-selection, mouse-click or keyboard-entry.
  Is this possible?
  
  [Having tried a similar software long ago (perhaps from IBM or SUN?), which just showed some empty block instead always gave me the feeling I was missing something essential, which would belong to this webpage. (And it did not look nice either).]

  Is upgrade to 5.x applicable ?? Since you're scheduled to release 5.0 in 2010.
• Mar 25 2010 3:44pm
  Prasad Paranjpe (Rising Star)
  I bought 5 licenses last year and it was a great deal!
  Admuncher works really well.
  If I buy 5 more licenses would that extend my updates for 1 year. I am currently receiving premium updates. I guess this question is related to will the purchase include version 5.0.
• Mar 26 2010 12:36pm
  VJ N (Visitor)
  What happened !! Has Admucher been abandoned ??
  
  No replies for any questions so far .... Hmm.
• Mar 26 2010 2:02pm
  Albert C. (Frequent Flyer)
  Hi. I'm using Ad Muncher as a trial version to test it out and it's really impressive! You can block ads in any browser you have installed. With AdBlock Plus you can only filter Firefox, but if you have Ad Muncher you can also block IE, Opera, Chrome... Very useful!
  I have a couple of questions though: will this offer be available to purchases of more than 1 license? I mean, if I want a 3 PCs license, will I be able to buy it with the discount of 15% plus the BDJ discount?
  Also, is this discount for the Basic or the Premium version?
  Thanks a lot and congrats for such a great product!

  gpc 111 (Visitor)
  This might be an interesting products. The publisher's refusal to answer any questions here concerns me. If they don't care enough to answer questions in a forum like this, How can they be counted on if you buy from them? I will pass on this for now as I think many others will choose to do as well.
• Mar 26 2010 10:20pm
  Murray Hurps (Murray Hurps Corp Pty Ltd Vendor)
  Thanks for the questions, please find my replies below. I replied earlier but for some reason it wasn't posted.
  
  Stefan: Sorry but Ad Muncher cannot currently stop animations.
  
  VJ N: This license will provide updates for 12 months from the purchase date, which includes the daily list updates and program updates. We have no release date set for any future Ad Muncher release, but are working as quickly as our sales allow.
  
  Albert: Indeed this discount can be used to purchase multiple licenses at once, and you'll also receive the bulk discounts on top of the 40% discount. It will also work with both the basic and premium versions.

  Hallo,
  I´ve the following question: is there a possibility to also block flash-advertising.
  E.g. : www.arcor.de
  when scrooling down, you may see an animated mini-game (blue sqares) at the right side, whicht are not blocked.
  also on the page: http://www.derwesten.de/waz/
  there is an animated flash at the right side
  called "DerWesten Skispringen"
  I´m not sure, if this is a problem of ad muncher or if I didn´t activate all the checkboxes, which are necessary to block such kind of advertising.
  
  I also would find it useful, when there would be a field "blocked by ad muncher" with the possbility to sho the blocked content, if one want s to
  thank you for answering soonly in advance
  with kind regards
  H.
• Mar 28 2010 6:06am
  Murray Hurps (Murray Hurps Corp Pty Ltd Vendor)
  H.H.: Indeed Ad Muncher can block flash content as easily as normal image content, it just needs the appropriate filters.
  
  Please report any missed adverts using the right-click menu extension in your browser, or if that's not available, from inside Ad Muncher's configuration window, and we'll do everything we can to take care of them.
  
  It's also best to report these from your computer so that if it's a less popular site we can recommend a filter for your list rather than add one to the server-supplied list, but we need your contact details to do that.

  I would like to know how much it costs to renew updates once the one year update time has elapsed. An earlier post mentioned a small upgrade fee to update to Ver 5.0. How small is small?
• Mar 29 2010 1:20am
  Rob M (Visitor)
  Can this be used to purchase the lifetime upgrade option you now have or only the 1 year option.
• Mar 29 2010 8:31am
  Murray Hurps (Murray Hurps Corp Pty Ltd Vendor)
  Guy Good: Renewals are based on time, so regardless of how many versions we release in a year you'll only need to renew once. Currently the renewal prices are $19.95 AUD per year for premium updates and $14.95 AUD per year for basic updates.
  
  Rob M: Indeed this coupon can be used for lifetime licenses :-)
• Mar 30 2010 4:32pm
  Prasad Paranjpe (Rising Star)
  Last year I bought a license for 5 simultaneous installations. I want to clarify the answer to Rob. Will I be able to purchase 5 lifetime updates for my existing 4.x licenses and still use the coupon? Also I would be interested in adding more licenses. Would these be added to my existing license count to qualify for quantity discounts?
• Mar 30 2010 10:12pm
  Murray Hurps (Murray Hurps Corp Pty Ltd Vendor)
  Prasad: Indeed this coupon can be used to upgrade to a lifetime license. Simply visit the registration page, enter your existing code into the "Renew Ad Muncher now" field, then enter the "BitsDuJour10" coupon on the screen the follows.
  
  If you encounter any difficulties please let me know.
  
  Currently licenses cannot be modified to cover more installations, but a separate license can be purchased and if you contact me we can combine the two licenses onto the one name/code combination.

  I want to upgrade an existing license but it says i can't but it is still valid.
• Mar 31 2010 12:28am
  Murray Hurps (Murray Hurps Corp Pty Ltd Vendor)
  Rob M: Sorry, at the moment only time-based licenses can be upgraded to lifetime ones via the purchase link. Older version-style licenses can be upgraded, but this must be done manually by us. Please send an email to murray@admuncher.com with your email address and we'll set up a purchase link.

  What subscription level does the $10.82 price quoted above cover?
  
  When I click on the button to buy Ad Muncher the checkout page has Ad Muncher Premium pre-selected. Is that what this promotion is for? Ad Muncher Premium?
  
  Jim
• Mar 31 2010 3:51am
  Murray Hurps (Murray Hurps Corp Pty Ltd Vendor)
  Jim: The coupon gives a 40% discount, so the $10.82 USD quoted here is referring to the basic license, which normally retails for about $18.20 USD (approximate because our prices are in Australian dollars).

  Yes, for some reason a few recent comments ended up in the old comments. Sorry for all this confusion -- obviously we're dealing with some technical issues right now :-)
  
  Anyhow, for those unable to purchase Ad Muncher in the last couple hours, please try again. Should be fine now.
  
  Best!

  Hello,
  How can I buy a lifetime license for two PCs and how much it is? (Premium and Basic versions prices, please).
  Does the lifetime license include all the future upgrades even the big ones?
  Can I transfer the licence from one PC to another (I am going to buy a new PC)?

  Hello,
  
  I will repost a question that -- because of technical problems -- got placed/hidden under Old Comments:
  
  I understand that Ad Muncher is subscription-based with an update period of one year, and in that period one get software updates within the main version + filter updates.
  
  Will Ad Muncher continue to work -- obviously without updates -- after the subscription period?

  @ Not Working
  
  The coupon seems to be working fine when I test it. Please note that the discount shows after the personal information screen.
• Mar 31 2010 5:35pm
  Murray Hurps (Murray Hurps Corp Pty Ltd Vendor)
  Chatles N: The checkout system can only upgrade time-based licenses to lifetime ones, version-based licenses can't be upgrade via the checkout system. Please send your license code to murray@admuncher.com and I'll make the necessary changes so you can use the checkout system and this coupon to upgrade.
  
  J L: To purchase a lifetime license, select whether you would like premium or basic updates then click "Continue", you'll see an option to extend for lifetime updates on the following page. Yes lifetime updates do include "big" updates. And yes licenses can be transfered to new PCs (as long as the old one is no longer used).
  
  Not Working: the coupon is working here, can you please try the link again? Please note that the discount is applied after you have entered your billing/delivery details.
  
  Rune Johannessen: After your renewal period expires Ad Muncher will continue to work, the license just can't be used for list or program updates that are released after the license expires.

  AC AC (Visitor)
  Murray, I already have a license and want to get a lifetime license. However, I get no break for having bought a license already. If I want to get the lifetime option, I have to pay for the lifetime renewal fee PLUS a new premium license. i don't think that's fair. That's the same as if i never bought the program in the first place. Is it possible to add the lifetime renewal without having to buy a brand new license?
• Mar 31 2010 10:42pm
  Murray Hurps (Murray Hurps Corp Pty Ltd Vendor)
  AC AC: Absolutely this is possible. Please send your license code to murray@admuncher.com and I'll set this up.

  AC AC, I managed to buy the lifetime license online using the discount. Just select renewal near bottom and enter the key you received which will fill all info for you and then you only see the lifetime options (no purchase of new license required).

  I have tried Ad-Muncher before and again recently using Windows XP and found it to be very good, BUT, I did have one problem when using Firefox browser that I would like to know is fixable, before i purchase a license:
  
  Q1. Using Firefox 3.5.x with Ad-Muncher blocking or filtering, on eBay.com or eBay.com.au etc, I find that most of the auction page(s) contents display correctly, except for 3 missing or removed hyperlinks - ''Ask a question'', ''Save this seller'', ''See other items'' , found inside the sellers Info box (near top on right hand side of page) but located under the Sellers name, Sellers feedback details, Why is it so?
  
  I do hope you can at least reply to this question - even if you do not have an answer, before the time runs out for me to purchase a license.
  
  Q2. If you can't reply before the offer is near to expiring can I purchase but get a refund if the problem is not fixable?
  
  Many thanks,
  
  Peter

  Dear Murray,
  --
  Do you know if you will ever run a similar deal again?
  --
  I missed the deal on the day (as I was in hospital and didn't know that BitsDuJour runs on USA timezones) and sent a very detailed email to your company on April 1st thru April 7, but JC wasn't having any of it and just told me to use trialpay, which really wasn't suitable.
  --
  I presume that you may even see my email address throught this entry and if you don't want to make the reply public I'm happy for you to contact me via email privately.

  Sorry for the trouble Peter, but indeed this was just a one-day promotion.  We rarely offer discounts on Ad Muncher, and haven't committed to any future ones at this point, but rest assured that whatever price you pay every cent we receive goes towards supporting and improving Ad Muncher for future releases.
