Block those bad and intrusive ads
One in four antivirus detections are now triggered by malvertising. To secure you against them and enhance your online experience, we block all bad ads, banners, and pop-ups for you.
You decide how many ads to display
Blocks all malicious ads by default
- Lets you block safe, non-intrusive ones as well.
- Prevents ads and social networks from tracking you
Shop with complete confidence
Integrated into Avira Safe Shopping is a cloud-based URL scanner, which protects your credit card details against phishing attacks and infected shopping carts.
We advise, you decide
For your safety, harmful websites are automatically blocked before they load.
But if you want to visit the site, you can just add it as an “exception.”
In case you change your mind, you can remove the exception.


Keep what you shop for private
Online advertisers monitor what you shop for online in order to build an online profile of who you are. Avira Safe Shopping stops that by blocking browser trackers.
Enable/disable trackers with one click
The green eye indicates a blocked tracker. This is your default mode.
- By clicking on it, it switches to red. Tracking is now allowed for that advertiser.
- Your decision for that tracker can apply to one website, or to all of them.
Know before you go
The web contains millions of shopping sites. And for each one listed in your search results, Avira Safe Shopping discreetly indicates whether they’re safe to visit.
Our color-coding scheme
Green indicates the site is safe.
Red indicates the site is malicious.


Keep the page… not the bad content
Avira Safe Shopping detects the harmful elements on an otherwise safe webpage and prevents them from being shown.
What’s kept, what’s blocked
If a web form was hacked or the site includes malicious ads, they get blocked. The rest of the website is loaded.
You can load all elements on a page by adding them as an “exception.”
In case you change your mind, you can remove the exception.
Make sure one download doesn’t hide another
Whether it’s a coupon code or the latest fashion magazine, your downloads may hide potentially unwanted applications (PUA) that bloat PCs, display ads, and collect private data. Safe Shopping blocks them.
Know what you’re downloading
If a PUA is secretly bundled with another file, the whole download is blocked.
You can decide to download the file anyway, or look for it elsewhere.


Prevent your browser settings from being hijacked
Adware will frequently alter your browser settings to redirect you towards harmful search engines. Our discreet extension not only blocks these redirects, but also helps you reset your browser settings.
Avoiding malicious search engines
Malware or PUA redirects you to a malicious search engine.
We notify you and prevent the page from loading.
You are offered to install Avira SafeSearch Plus to fix your search settings.
Make Safe Shopping your own
Tailor your browser add-on to your needs by easily switching on/off individual features within the extension.
Your customization options:

Allow/block browser trackers
Always inform sites you do not wish to be tracked
