Phony version of Ad Limiter

Thursday, April 9th, 2015

There is a phony version of Ad Limiter for Firefox being distributed. The only valid source for Ad Limiter for Firefox is “https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ad-limiter/”. If your add-on came from some other source, it is probably fake. Our own sites, sitetruth.com, and “adlimiter.com” redirect you to that link if you’re using Firefox. (Google Chrome users are sent to the Google Chrome store. This attack does not seem to affect them.)

The current version of Ad Limiter is 2.0. Phony versions have strange version numbers, such as “1009.99.597”. If you’re using Ad Limiter on Firefox, and the version isn’t 2.0, please remove it, then reload it directly from the Mozilla Add-Ons site using the link above.

If you have been affected in any way by this problem, please contact us at info@sitetruth.com. We would like to hear from you.

Data upgrade in progress – slow response

SiteTruth is loading a new database of 20 million US businesses.  During the database upload, rating of new sites is very slow.  Normal operation should resume by the morning of April 5.  Rating quality will improve later in the month.
