Hi Bruce. I found another thing you can do with Atguard. It starts out blocking quite a few banners and moving ads (like the moving ads at pparadise.com and the ads on SI Profile pages), but misses quite a few banners and ads as well. If you are going to revisit a site, but would like those ads blocked next time, simply drag the ad you would like to get rid of to the Ad Trashcan! (Actually, right click on the ad, select copy image location, then right click on the trashcan and select paste). Then the next time you visit that site the ad is gone, replaced by white space, and the page loads much faster. Heck I even made the banner at atguard.com disappear. <G> Quite a fringe benefit if you ask me. It's worth the $30 just for the cookie and reference blocking, but throw in ad blocking and a personal firewall and the program is quite a bargain, and well written, too. Having tried it, I wouldn't be without it. Carl
