Ad block

[Richard]

I visit a humour site that is mostly sponsored by porn sites with very
explicit pictures. I used to use an early version of Adshield but that
program is often causing error messages in IE on XP. What is the easiest
freeware way to block the porn ads?

Firefox http://www.mozilla.org/ can be set to block the popups and
popunders. The Adblock extension
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=10&application=firefox

can be used to block unacceptable images and banner ads. The Adblock
Filter Set G Updater extension
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1136 provides a
great set of filters for Adblock that will block almost all
inappropriate images and annoying advertisements.

Avant Browser an IE shell has a built in ad-blocker, tabbed browsing and a
lot of other goodies. Free and just over 1MB.

=== if you must use Internet Explorer , get ... FoxIE from..
http://www.getfoxie.com/ ...... it will modify IE to block bad
stuff , and give you other options, like tab browsing, etc. ==========

Was looking for something simpler but went with Firefox and Adblock and it
works great. Thanks.

Thanks for that. Just what I wanted! Hate being 'assaulted' by
adverts.
