— install this text file onto your computer, it works on any computer (including handhelds) that use the hosts file for local DNS lookup (Windows, Mac, PocketPC, Unix, Linux, etc.)
What it does is block advertising sites by redirecting it to an empty port on your computer. Most popups are blocked, most ads are blocked, most malicious websites are blocked. Drudge Report with zero popups, zero ads - with no program running on your computer. I love it.
Thanks....I think this was a redirect. I’ve never had a real problem with pop-ups.
