| 97 ## Verify your filter list(s) |
| 98 |
| 99 Adblock Plus requires filter lists to block ads. A default filter list based on
your browser's language settings is automatically activated when you install Adb
lock Plus. It blocks ads from the most popular (often English language-based) we
bsites. However, it does not block ads on less popular national websites. For ex
ample, if you live in Germany you should subscribe to the national German filter
list. |
| 100 |
| 101 An overview of actively maintained filter lists can be found [here](https://adbl
ockplus.org/en/subscriptions). |
| 102 |
| 103 **Tip**: As a recommendation, you should avoid adding too many filter lists to A
dblock Plus. Adding too many filter lists slows down the ad blocker and, therefo
re, your browsing. |
| 104 |
| 105 ## Make sure the website is not whitelisted |
| 106 |
| 107 <? include adblockplus/remove-a-website-from-the-whitelist ?> |
| 108 |
| 109 ## Turn off Acceptable Ads |
| 110 |
| 111 Some nonintrusive ads are displayed by default. If you want to block all ads, th
is feature must be turned off. Please note that by turning off Acceptable Ads, w
ebsite owners and content creators that abide by the Acceptable Ads criteria wil
l lose ad revenue. |
| 112 |
| 113 <? include adblockplus/block-all-ads ?> |
| 114 |
| 115 ## Check to see if your computer is infected with adware/malware |
| 116 |
| 117 ### What is adware? |
| 118 |
| 119 Adware is a type of malware, short for "malicious software." It's a term general
ly used for software installed on your computer that is designed to infiltrate o
r damage a computer system without your consent. In many cases you obtained this
software without knowing it, as these applications are often bundled in other s
oftware installers. |

ion page](https://adblockplus.org/adware). |
| 122 |
| 123 If you still see ads after following these recommendations, please report the we
bsite(s) in the [forum](https://adblockplus.org/forum/). |
