Guys to get rid of hoof sounds and annoying bloodey ads on any web page for that matter, download AdSubtract SE. I use it without fail. Easy to use and by deletin ads and noises it realy does speed up your downloading. Best of all its free!

Angry

And yeh Tinny I feel the same way mate. By clicking on their banners or buyin their products you only encourage the b@stards to make more bloodey annoying ads! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="mad.gif" /> . .. .I also note from my AdSub that PPRuNe is where I get the most intercepts from those bloodey doubleclick and mediaplex sites.

It did work though. We haven't talked about an ad so much since that Netscape-killing JavaScript one.... . . . <small>[ 16 March 2002, 22:35: Message edited by: Evo7 ]</small>

Depend on the ad & the company. If it's an annoying pop up, flickering ad or one that makes noise then it gets closed immediately. Then the usually website that generated it gets a nastygram & added to my banned sites list. This only applies to companies that I think are reputable.. .. .Sometimes I get a reply & the website gets changed so I consider it a win. . .. .Obviously if it's the web equivalent of spam or an unknown company it just gets added straight to my restricted sites list.
