AdGuard for Windows is an easy-to-use tool that blocks annoying banners, popups, video ads, and trackers. But that's not all: it helps you save traffic, load web pages faster, and protect your computer from undesirable and potentially malicious websites. AdGuard also protects you from phishing websites and keeps your kids away from inappropriate content.
Once you start AdGuard for Windows, you will see the main screen of the app. Its most noticeable detail is the *enable/disable protection* button. Also, on this screen you can monitor blocked ads, trackers and threats statistics, find out the current version of the app or update it. Furthermore, there are four tabs in the upper right corner: *Settings*, *Support*, *License*, and *About*. Each of these is worth talking about separately.

*Settings* is the section that requires the most attention. This is where you can configure the app so that it fully meets your requirements: blocks only what bothers you, uses the DNS server of the trusted provider, removes third-party cookies, and so on.
Here you can set the language and theme (Dark or Light), enable AdGuard launching at system start-up and silent automatic updates, choose the update channel and filter update check interval. Also Settings is the place to go if AdGuard for Windows is not working properly and the support team asked you to [collect *Debug logs*](/adguard-for-windows/solving-problems/adguard-logs.md).
At the very bottom of the screen you will find *Advanced Settings*. Changing some of them mindlessly may potentially cause problems with AdGuard’s performance, break the Internet connection or compromise your security and privacy. That’s why we suggest you open this section only if you are sure of what you are doing or our support team has asked you about it. If you want to know what can be set up in *Advanced Settings*, read the [dedicated article](/adguard-for-windows/solving-problems/low-level-settings.md).
This is the main module of AdGuard for Windows that removes ads from the websites you visit and from the apps installed on your device. To filter out advertising and privacy-threatening content such as banners, popups, or trackers AdGuard uses different filters — groups of rules with a similar purpose written with a [special syntax](/general/ad-filtering/create-own-filters). To understand what filters are and how they work read [this article](/general/ad-filtering/how-ad-blocking-works).

In the *Parental Control* module you can enable the *Safe search* and manage the *blocklist* and the *allowlist* to customize how this option works. You can also check the *Block executable files download* box to prevent your child from downloading and installing software on the computer. There are two more options in the *Parental Control* module: you can select a specific Windows user to be protected by *Parental Control* and set a password to protect AdGuard settings from change.
