Quite often the link has a dotted underline, sometimes a double underline and woe betide the foolish surfer that casually grazes his or her mouse down the screen as they are reading.

| 23-1-2008 | For Internet Explorer, very easy.
IE:Internet Options; Security tab; click Restricted globe; click Sites...
add sites like this:
*.intellitxt.com
*.kontera.com
*.doubleclick.com
*.doubleclick.net
etc.
You will not see the ads because adding to Resticted zone prevents the javascript from r...more | wally |
| 04-12-2007 | Yep. Darned silly webmasters. I'm with you all the way.
Lynx rules. Try Links, another character mode browser which handles tables differently. Links renders tables in columns across the width of the terminal. Lynx doesn't do that.
I agree it shouldn't be necessary to install bloc...more | Phil |
| 30-11-2007 | Go to http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm and get all the information read, then get up and do what they say......you can add to the 'block' list and they give you instructions on how to do it, safely. This will apply to Internet Explorer 6 adn versions below (5.5 is the least compatib...more | gurubjudson6 |
| 14-11-2007 | Get an old PC and stick dansguardian or some other proxy on it. That you can can completely block all adverts and by URL AND domain!
Also out there: hostsman and hosts server (Abel Digital). Oh, and use Firefox! | Nick |
| 12-10-2007 | When you get POP UP windows do not click the X
Press Alt + F4 keys together at the same time - this gets rid of 90% of these nasties and will stop more POP UP's which you get clicking the X
Beware ... press Alt+F4 quickly ... and do not keep them pressed or you can get rid of the menu you are ...more | Michael |
| 09-10-2007 | Lynx rocks! Unfortunately most sites don't alt.text their graphics any more. I find using a graphical browser from circa 1999 is the trick. Arachne, Opera, early Netscape. Also there is a beast known as a "LiveCD", which doesn't even use your hard disk - surf away, let the viru...more | Computers suck |
| 05-10-2007 | You wont get far using Lynx - but you'll sure smell nice... | Pain in the wotsit |
| 03-10-2007 | Beefmonkey, that's so funny. I agree by the way, especially with the bit about virus writers and yes they can be lumped in the same cage as annoying pop ups etc. although I'd say that a virus is a bit more sinister, especially having been hit by one recently myself. | Die pop up die |
| 03-10-2007 | Blaming the ISPs is like blaming the brewery because someone spat in your pint. Your ISP simply provides you with a gateway to the internet, they are not responsible for the content.
However, I totally agree. The companies responsible for these pop-up bubbles should be put in a large cage with al...more | Beefmonkey |
| 03-10-2007 | This is absolutely infuriating.
I do actually have a pop up blocker activated but for some reason, many main sites seem to be able to get round it.
This should be more proactively regulated and in fact I believe ISPs should go one step further and ban these things altogether. | Angrydadcalledray |
