| 272646 | 2004-09-15 09:57:00 | Can anyone tell me if there is some way to turn of the ads. Especially those annoying flash ads. Apart from annoying the hell out of me they are affecting my PC. Especially the Xtra jetstream ad at the top of the topics page. It stops my download of next page. If I can't turn the ads off I might have to turn Press F1 off altogether - don't want to do that. I am using IE6 on Win 98. | Peter M (852) | ||
| 272647 | 2004-09-15 11:09:00 | Peter One solution is to run Agnitum Outpost firewall. As well as a good firewall job, it blocks ads as well. Don't tell IDG I said so............ |

The only way you can do this is by uninstall the flash plug in (which means that any flash websites or flash nav will not work) or using another browser e.g. Firefox etc.. & install the flash blocker Extensions & with Firefox you can block the ads as well mahahaha @ the ads any way that xtra ad only have another few days left, that is what Bruce said in this thread: pressf1.pcworld.co.nz Hope this helps :) |

| 272650 | 2004-09-15 12:09:00 | There is a hundred ways to do it,thousands of adblockers and web filters available. Personally i use The Proximitron,so damn good im surprised the Linux boys havent tried to claim it yet. |

| 272653 | 2004-09-15 13:17:00 | Proxomitron can transform web pages on the fly - changing most anything you wish. Speed your browsing by saying goodbye to slow loading cyber spam and other web-gimmickry. Customize pages to suit your tastes. Take control of your web viewing. Some features: * Stop or limit Pop-up windows. * Control MIDI music and other sounds. * Freeze animated GIFs (load only the first frame). * Kill most all advertising banners. * Stop Web-Branding and other scripts added by web space providers. * Stop Pop-up alert/confirm boxes. * Remove slow web counters. * Stop web pages and ads from "auto-refreshing". * Remove Dynamic HTML. * Prevent getting stuck in someone's frames. * Remove frames or tables altogether for that matter. * Kill or change selected Java scripts and applets. * Add your own scripts to pages. * Remove or replace web page and/or table background images. uh,and while looking for that i found the guy who made the program is dead, There is probally a connection somwhere. RIP Scott R. Lemmon Jan 1968 - May 2004 Pretty damn young to go and die. |
