Is ADSCleaner safe?

Clean risk

ADSCleaner sends install and ruleset metadata to ads-clean.com and applies returned blocking and page-modification rules.

On install or startup, ADSCleaner posts a per-install UID plus bundled ruleset and version metadata to ads-clean.com/mv3_subscription.php. The response is stored locally and can update dynamic request-blocking rules, enable or disable bundled rulesets, and apply returned CSS or DOM modification rules on matching pages across all sites.
