Zone Alarm Pro, sorry -ed.
Ahh I see said the blind man ;) - this is what I meant Bookmarklets for Zapping Annoyances (there's lots of stuff makes flash animations more 'controllable' - sometimes you actually want the popup or ad!) , yeah sure lots of 'professinal' versions of firewalls come complete with their own blocklists, mind you you can add public free ones (which is all many vendors sell you) to almost all firewall products, personally I like hosts files for blocking ads, I only resort to IP block lists, for when I'm receiving random connects, like ftp servers & file sharing apps ..Quote:

Having the ads launch a video every time my mouse goes over it is still extremely aggravating.Quote:

So something launches that, use a s/w firewall to stop it if it pisses you off so much..Quote:

I'm running Win98SE and did the copy & paste routine into my C:/windows/hosts.sam file. Saved it. Rebooted. Still getting those annoying ads in the top right screen. Since I'm on a slow dialup, it is really starting to p|ss me off.
Also, when I first found the hosts.sam file, Windows didn't know how to Open the file. So I just opened it with Notepad and saved it as hosts.sam.
Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

You want the hosts file, not hosts.sam Jaxson.Quote:
