First Launch
When AdBlock360 launches for the first time:
- The app icon appears in your Windows system tray (bottom-right corner of your taskbar). AdBlocking is enabled by default.
- If you declined the HTTPS certificate during installation, the app shows the "High risk of ads appearing" prompt — pick Activate full protection to enable HTTPS Filtering, or Maybe later to enable it from Settings whenever you want.
- The app then offers to enable the in-page Browser Manager with the "Add Browser Manager for AdBlock360" prompt — pick Enable Browser Manager or Maybe later.
There's no license-key prompt at first launch. To activate a paid license, see Entering & Activating Your License Key. For next steps, see Getting Started with AdBlock360.
