Blocking ads with host file
Since IE7 has a pop-up blocker but nothing for all those annoying ads, I
downloaded a host file and put it in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\ and I still see the ads. http://hostsfile.mine.nu/ only says: So how do install this file ? Simply unzip & place this "Hosts" file in the relevant directory (logged on with Root/SU/Administrator privileges in most cases): Microsoft Windows NT/2K: C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\ I still see all the adds using IE7. Windows named it HOST 2 and may not see it or access it. How do I get it to work and block ads using IE7?

If you must post to more than one group, do it all at once putting each group on the same line, separated by commas. That's called "cross-posting" and the benefit of that is that all replies are seen in each group. You have a reply in the other group you posted to. http://hostsfile.mine.nu/ only says: So how do install this file ?
