Blocking banners

Anti-Banner blocks website banners from the list of known banners which is embedded in the Kaspersky Security Cloud 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.
