How to Block Malware Redirects Without Antivirus

Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026

On sketchy download and streaming sites, clicking almost anywhere can open a new tab or redirect you to a scam or malware page, and most of those redirects come from ad networks. Ultimate Adblocker blocks those networks with EasyList, closes tabs that ads open by themselves using the lists' pop-up rules, and shows a warning page before you land on an address from its bundled malware and phishing lists. It can't catch a brand-new malicious site nobody has reported yet, so keep Chrome's Safe Browsing and your antivirus on as well.
