Remove Banner Ads
Check Remove Banner Ads to enable banner ads removal from web pages. Effective
Speed will increase when Remove Banner Ads is checked. This feature will prevent
also some pop-up and pop under ads from appearing.
Aggressiveness
This option determines how aggressive should the Internet Accelerator be when removing ads. There are no exact criteria for distinguishing ads from non-ads. The default settings work well for most users. Set Aggressiveness to “Normal” to remove more ads (with increased probability that some non-ads will be removed too or there will be errors on some pages.). Set Aggressiveness to “Min”, if some non-ad images are removed or there are errors on the loaded pages (with increased probability that some ads would slip in).
Images
This option determines how the Internet Accelerator treats images, received in the web and email pages. If the user agrees to view some images with lower quality, the Internet Accelerator is able to compress them more, achieving more acceleration. We recommend keeping it “Excellent Quality” or “Good Quality” for the best compromise between the acceleration and quality of the images.
No Changes – Images are not changed. This option provides the lowest acceleration on the graphics intensive web sites.
Excellent Quality – Images look almost the same, as the originals. This is the default setting.
Good Quality – Some distortions may happen in the images.
Fair Quality – Significant distortions may happen in the images. This option provides the highest acceleration on the graphics intensive web sites.
You can refresh the page and receive the images unchanged by pressing Shift-F5 or Shift-F7 (Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher)
This screen appears only if Plus option was purchased. ‘Plus’ includes
‘Kill pop-ups and pop-unders’ feature. Today, many web sites serve
automatic pop-up, pop under and ‘exit’ windows. These windows are
almost always undesirable; they interfere with the browsing and frequently cause
the browser to freeze or to crash. This feature is designed to completely eliminate
them, while not interfering with the ‘
legitimate’ new windows. Nevertheless, this feature may occasionally eliminate
a useful new window. If it happens, disable “Kill pop-ups and pop-unders”
or decrease Aggressiveness to Min. You have to restart the browser after changing
this option.
Pop-up suppression works only with Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher. When pop-ups are suppressed, a yellow icon “Done, but with errors on page” frequently appears on the status bar of the browser. This is not an error.
Kill pop-ups and pop-unders
Check this box to suppress automatic pop-up, pop under and ‘exit’ windows.
*** Please note that some popup windows are legitimate and necessary. If you use the webpage login to send and receive your Tnets/Warplink/TNNs email, you will need to set the aggressiveness to minimum as the reply button will not function otherwise.***
Aggressiveness
To reduce the undesirable side effects of this option, set Aggressiveness to Min. To decrease chances for a pop-up or a pop-under to appear, set Aggressiveness to Max.
Maximum Privacy
The Internet Accelerator adds a high level of privacy and security protection to your Internet browser. When this checkbox is checked, privacy protection and security are set to maximum. When the box is checked, your IP address is not normally visible to web servers that you visit and cookies are not sent to the known ad servers even if the Remove Banner Ads is not enabled. HTTP Referer field is erased in cross domain requests.
In rare cases this option may slightly decrease performance or cause errors on the viewed pages.
Stop Animated Gifs
When this option is checked, the Internet Accelerator will prevent downloading of any frame of an animated gif beyond the first one. It saves bandwidth and helps avoiding annoying animations. Press Shift-F5 or Shift-F7 on any page if you wish to view animated gifs on it.
Block Flash Animations
When this option is checked, the Internet Accelerator will prevent downloading of FlashTM animations, even if they are not ads. Press Shift-F5 or Shift-F7 on any page if you wish to view Flash animations on it.
This screen allows you to configure the Internet Accelerator to accelerate
email and news. The Accelerator icon animates, when email or news are accelerated,
but Speed Meter does not account for email or news, when computing the effective
speed.
Accelerate incoming emails
Check it to accelerate delivery of the incoming emails.
Not checked by running anti-virus
By default, the Internet Accelerator allows your anti-virus program to check the incoming email for the viruses. If your anti-virus program is configured not to check incoming email, and you see Accelerator icon not animating, when receiving the email, check this box.
Accelerate News (NNTP)
Check it to accelerate interaction with the News servers.
