Blocking Unwanted Adverts with a Hosts File

Hi people,

I’m using this file now to stop 90% of adverts apearing on web pages and MSN messenger etc:
Blocking Unwanted Adverts with a Hosts File

Now, there’s an argument to be had about how the web relies on advertising for its funding – but I very rarely click an advert and I’d rather not be bombarded with the brand awareness campaigns of global corportates etc!

The main benefit (apart from visual) is that the bandwidth that the adverts would have taken is free for me!

Ciao
