I got my new computer yesterday

Merry Christmas!
I got my new computer yesterday. Frankly, my computer is pretty slow,
and all the ads that appear on various web pages just serve to slow my
computer down further. I tried uninstalling the active X part so it
wouldn't work in web pages and did, but now if i go on a page with
flash it asks me if i want to install it. No I don't, and i cant get
rid of that prompt.
I did some searching this morning and found No! Flash. Oh my gosh this
thing is wonderful. I don't have to do anything and all the flash ads
are GONE (until I tell it I want to look at them)."

It sits in my tray, I can turn Flash on when you want to visit a site
that uses it for non-advertising reasons, and leave it off

'No! Flash is a freeware program. But extended block
list is not free. because I have to spend much time to
analyze these "PARASITES". Register fee is inexpensive'

$10 that is. My guess is this fellow is just trying to
be helpful. If he gets part of $10 then I would call it
SPAM. At $400, I would promote PhotoShop or Flash!

Just my 2¢ worth- Larry
Any advise is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.

SpywareBlaster also has a "flash killer" option and does many other
useful things -- and it's free and updated regularly. Been using it
for a year or so with no problems.
