Cleve I would appreciate a place where I can download yours at. I have never tried any of this, but anythinig that will speed up my browsing is worth a shot. Kind of greedy though, since my connection is very very fast for being cable. I get 2.5 megabits/second which is about 20% faster than the average of Ohio and faster than the listed T-1 (1.43MBits/sec). |

I've attached it as a text file. just open it up, copy it all, and paste it into your HOSTS file.
I've also found that 0.0.0.0 works quicker than 127.0.0.1 |

1) BugMeNot is a great helper - thank you
2) Modzilla is causing me some grief... a) PDFs will not launch like they do for me in IE (I've changed the tools option tab) b) Cannot get it to import from IE for other users (XP home)... getting a run time error... FAQs talk about a ProfileManager... but I can't find it/can't seem to get a RUN command to launch it... Any advice? |

AdAware Reference File Problems
I tried to download the latest reference file for AdAware and it locked up at the 5% point, and now when I try to run AdAware I get an "Error while loading the Ad-aware reference file". This happened about three days ago on my home computer, and I thought maybe it was just a bad file transfer, but when I tried to update my work computer the same [censored] happened. Is this happening to anyone else, and if so, how did you repair the reference file?

Mili I had the same issue. I searched google for Ad Aware and downloaded the newest wersion "Ad Aware SE" on "Major Geeks"...very thorough cleaner that found a load of new spyware.

I did that at home but still couldn't download updates...

Help! Clarity, I just DL'd that HOSTS file, put it in my sys32/etc folder as instructed and now when I try to go to ESPN my "Aol toolbar" .. umm.. I guess the word is hijacks it.
First, I have no idea how this AIM toolbar even showed up, and second I have no clue how to turn it off. Wait, I got it to stop, had to go to "Tools" "manage add on" and disable the AIM stuff. Checked ESPN and it didn't get hijacked or whatever. So, I guess tragedy narrowly avoided. If anyone else has this problem try this solution, and hopefully it works for you too. |

grad... try download.com .. and download Ad-Aware SE...
when you select the install it'll ask if you want to remove previous versions... which you should... then first launch will ask if you want to search for all updates... which you should... and lookout when it does it's first run... cuz it'll make your eyes bug out what this new version finds... it finds EVERYTHING... |

No doubt it finds everything. I didn't have the prblem for long...Mili, did you straighten yours out?

For grad and anyone else using adblock with firefox the following link ads even more things to input adblock to knock ads, banners, etc. Also I believe instead of going to the trouble of adding each item one by one you can save the items as a list and then in Firefox, click on Tools, Adblock -> Preferences. Click the Adblock Options button on the top right, and select "Import filters". Find the file, and click OK. You're now blocking.
