This has blocked every ad I've come a crossed.
How do you do it?!
1 Right click notepad, run as administrator
2 Open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
3 paste content from http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt in the hosts file
4) Done
When you are finished, the file should not be named "hosts.txt" it should just be "hosts"
Why use this instead of Adblock?
-This wont let ads load into your computer. Adblock will load THEN block.
-Adblock takes up RAM
-You can update this more effectively than Adblock. You only need to re-copy and paste the list every month or two.
