If Adblocker Plus doesn't stop them ...

Then using an edited system32/devices/etc/hosts sure will - that puts the ad coming from your own PC - which if you're NOT running a webserve - means it has nothing to display. It also keeps the ads from being loaded on your PC in the first place....

That the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am,and don't bother with those that ONLY know how to hurt.

...the only problem I have with HOSTS file blocking is having to update each computer with updated lists, and the list must contain the full domain-name which can get make it very long. I currently use »www.dnsredirector.com on a server (or Microsoft's SBS) to filter ads and naughty sites out for the entire network of PCs - and without having to install software or modify each workstation cause it’s all done at the DNS level.
