To remove ads from Viber desktop, users can modify the hosts file on their computer to block the ad server. This involves adding specific lines to the hosts file, which redirects the ad server's traffic to a local address, thus preventing ads from loading. This method can be effective in removing ads that appear in the lower left corner of the Viber PC application.






Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Open Notepad as Administrator: Locate Notepad, right-click, and select "Run as administrator".

Code








127.0.0.1 ads.viber.com
127.0.0.1 ads.aws.viber.com
127.0.0.1 ads-d.viber.com

1. Save the File: Save the hosts file and exit Notepad.

If you continue to see ads, it may be necessary to add additional ad server addresses to the hosts file. Some users have reported success blocking other addresses like rmp.rakuten.com, s-bid.rmp.rakuten.com, ams1-mobile.adnxs.com, api.mixpanel.com, fra1-ib.adnxs.com, and mediation.adnxs.com
