The best bet for these ad servers is to setup a LAN proxy. That involves having a seperate machine though and not everyone can afford that... I had trouble affording mine.  |

Yes, a good site for explaining what you can disable, it helps too if you don't have a lot of memory.  |

Hehe... I get such satisfaction when I disable a useless service. I use this, a list I believe you posted one time. |

Tak, have you ever gone into "services" and see if there is anything you might disable? A lot of un-needed programs are set to auto run on startup, which can slow you down.  |
| Chris Vogel - Apr-27-2004 server time |
| Yes. Oh, and you're going to have to put 127.0.0.1 before all those I think... |

| Tak, are you using XP? |

| BTW, for Windows these go in your HOSTS file, a hidden, extensionless file located in x:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\drivers\etc. (At least that's where it is in XP.) Open it with Notepad. There are a few sites that provide very extensive HOSTS file additions. However, my computer gets slow when I connect to the Internet. I assume that's because it has to keep track of everything I had added. |

| For those of you that block ad servers so you don't see ads, here is a full list of 'em! (I hope google ads are excluded from this...  )
