Anyway for those interested in getting Web-ads out of their hair:
Message 7445046

I can't vouch for this anti-advertisement stuff (I put up with the adds). But it may be interesting how this affects the IP companies that derive revenues from advertisements. I got pissed when I used the Hot-Bot search engine today. It put up a seperate box with my search word DSVD. Everytime I hit go it took me to a Gifts site. I finally figured out what was going on and found the real Searh box to the left. A diabolical liberty. My guess is Internet advertisement is in trouble. Is it time to short the stocks that have revenues dependant upon these adverts? You know how mags newswires pick up on this stuff and just the remote possiblity of people been able to screen out adds may crater these stocks. A house of cards was never built to stand. An idea for people to mull over. Opinions appreciated?
