|  Block unwanted ads on AT&T Y! pages
This post is for all AT&T Yahoo! Customers, but the information actually applies to all internet activity regardless of your ISP.
If you are tired of being inundated with flashing, blinking, jumping, and bleeping advertisements on web pages then help is available to you.
One method that works for me is to use the Windows’ HOSTS file to block web sites. That literally means any web site, undesirable or not, that you don’t want to see.
A newsletter article at the WindowsSecrets.com web site details the method for using the HOSTS file to block unwanted ads. The information comes from the free portion of their newsletter.
Click the link, »www.windowssecrets.com/2008/05/0···ad-sites, to learn how you can use the Windows’ HOSTS file to thwart malware attacks and to block unwanted advertisements.
I hope this helps.
