281683 2004-10-16 07:50:00 can anyone recommend a good free program which kills flash banners without disabling flash globally?

Also how do I disable IE's annoying prompt for me to download a newer version of the flash plugin, every time i enter a flash featured site?

my existing version of the flash plugin suffice.

If i could get away with it, I'd do away with flash all together.

curse the flash banners.

281685 2004-10-17 01:24:00 thanks johnboy for the suggestions.

what I want is even more specific.
e.g. in the tvnz is a flash site. I just want to disable the flash banner ads at the top and the right hand side of the web pages, without disabling the viewablity of the main body which is also flash .

something like disabling according to the diameters of the ad; just like what can be done with gif banner ads

281686 2004-10-17 01:45:00 Flashblock works with Mozilla - flash banner ads show up as an "f" symbol in a circle - if you want to see the flash ad, you just click on it and it plays. John H (8)
281687 2004-10-17 01:49:00 I suspect you may not be able to do that with I Explorer.

You may have to try out a second browser such as Firefox, which I know can block specific flash ads with the adblock extension.

Sorry, I should have said Firefox rather than just Mozilla. I am using Firefox - I don't know if it works with the other Mozilla browsers.
