Annoying Banners


http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm


There you are browsing along for something (it's probably information as to why a shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes) click on a link to an article or picture and suddenly you are redirected to a full page size ad. What the heck? Oh there's a link on the top that says to "click here to skip ad". You click and it takes a few seconds to get to the thing you were looking for in the first place.

Well folks with XP (and possibly vista and 7), can go to this page and update your host file. This will redirect those pages to your computer and will remove those ads forever.

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\host
