Here is the method to eliminate a bunch of advertising.
Well, instead of emailing this thing, here we go...the file that eliminates a bunch of advertising. If you have any doubts...don't do it!! I am NOT responsible in any way for your computer or operating system. This is educational material only and may not be accurate:
If you have any doubts, make a backup of your hosts.txt file as you go along.
Right click on start tab and click on explore.
Go to C: drive
Go to windows folder
Go to systems 32 folder
Go to drivers folder
Go to etc folder
Right click on hosts.txt and click on open
Choose notetab when box comes up with options....the point is to open the file. It is a txt file and uses an ascii text editor.
All right...leave that open, ready for editing, and then open a completely new browser window.
In the new browser window, go to:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt
a hosts.txt file will come up with a lot more information in it than your original.
Click on edit, select all...right click and copy
Go back to your original hosts.txt
Select all...delete
Then right click and paste in the hosts.txt and save.
Your advertising will greatly diminish!
Any questions, please ask.
