I found a nifty site for the IE users out there, it has a new "hosts" file that blacklists certain IPs and makes it so that banner ads just plain don't show up! It is available here: http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm. I have tested it with IE and confirmed that it works.

BTW...
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND BACK UP YOUR ORIGINAL "HOSTS" FILE!

&&&&That's right, I'm now using an AMD! I decided to give them another try and they kicked the pants off of my P4 3.4!
