a good while back, SS made a comprehensive post about how to stop adverts by editing some IE file to block the server or something like that. At the time I didn't really take much notice but it would really be useful now...so if anyone has it, or if SS can remember what it was about...I'd appreciate any help

Because the person who gave me that list had them on it.


Galmort, you might need to enable hidden files or whatever.
This is XP and it works fine, but it should work with any Windows.
Try searching for "hosts" in with WinKey+F.

What is the highest-level directory you can get into?
ie: can you get all the way to /windows/system32/drivers/etc or does drivers or etc not exist?

Also, have you got both 'hidden' settings done?

Blah. :mellow:

Yeah, copy and paste it to the end of the file.

wait wait wait, of course, i won't be able to figure it all out <_< ...

the list you posted, is that a list of the place the popups will come from? or the site you go to when they pop-up?  I hope you understand, because i went to originalicons.com and got a pop-up after i added that to the list...

The URLs in that list are the pop-up servers.

If a website you visit pops up, you right-click on it and select properties.
On the "Address: (URL)£ section you copy the entire value (which might span multiple lines - click three times to select it all) and paste it into the file with a dummy value (127.0.0.1) before it.
The next time IE is started the URL you added will be blocked, so you wont get pop-ups from there.

Crystal?
