help AdGuard Premium FAQ
Does AdGuard Premium block ads outside a web browser?
On supported desktop and mobile platforms, AdGuard can filter traffic from applications as well as browsers. Its system-level capabilities are broader than a conventional browser extension, although platform restrictions affect what it can filter.
What is the difference between AdGuard Premium and AdGuard DNS?
The Premium application can apply detailed filtering rules and cosmetic cleanup directly on a device. AdGuard DNS blocks requests at the domain level but cannot remove every empty ad space or inspect content inside a permitted domain.
Can AdGuard Premium replace antivirus software?
No. It can block known malicious or tracking domains, but it does not provide the full malware scanning, behavioral monitoring, and remediation expected from products such as Microsoft Defender.
Which operating systems support the full AdGuard application?
AdGuard offers dedicated products for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. Filtering depth differs because iOS imposes tighter system restrictions than Windows or Android.
