New Features in AdShield 3.0.5.0

• Exclude list prevents AdShield from blocking web sites or URLs such as your bank’s website. (e.g., www.my_important_site.com).
  
  
• Identifies web bugs in your browser window. Exposes hidden bugs, which you can then drag to your block list to protect your privacy. Hover text on the web bug indicates the source web site, so you can easily identify it.

• Add Button lets you manually add URLs to either the block list or the exclude list. This feature defaults to the current page you are viewing to help speed the process.
  
  
• Export function lets you easily export your existing block list to share it with other users or to make a backup copy.
  
  
• Cut, Copy and Paste functions help you maintain your AdShield lists.

• Improved support for multi-user PC environments such as XP. AdShield now supports user specific block/exclude lists based on user profiles.
