Answer» Being PARANOID about running extra programs that use resources I decided to use the HOST file to block popups. As a starting point I installed the spybot popup list with very good results. My popup problem is now down to this site http://www.news.com.au There are 2 random popups there, one for Telstra and one for Match (dating service). Can someone look at the site and suggest a blocking address for me to use? So far I've tried... #127.0.0.1 ad.au.doubleclick.net #127.0.0.1 adserver.news.com.au #127.0.0.1 adsrv.news.com.au #127.0.0.1 newsinteractive.match.com #127.0.0.1 server-au.imrworldwide.com #127.0.0.1 adsfac.net #127.0.0.1 m.doubleclick.net #127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net #127.0.0.1 creatives.doubleclick.net #127.0.0.1 bs.serving-sys.com #127.0.0.1 adsmax.com #127.0.0.1 Match.com.au #127.0.0.1 News.com.au ...with no success. (without the #s)
Maybe someone's aftermarket popup blocker will give the CORRECT blocking address?
Note: The popups seem random so you may NEED to browse the news a little to get one to activate.
Many THANKS guys.No popups for me. I use WinXP-SP2, Yahoo Popup blocker, Spyware Blaster.
