so adblock can stop them then?
Possibly, but if those images are hosted on another site, then you can simply block that site, therefore not being able to view those flash things... Just find out the website. go to:
C:/ > Windows > System32 > Drives > etc click on 'hosts' and open it in notepad.
in there you should have:
code:# Copyright 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
# For example:
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
all you need to do there is add:
code:127.0.0.1 site.url
and you won't be able to access/see any information off of those sites ever, without getting them off of the hosts file of course .
i have a hosts file on my web site with literally thousands of ad hosts entered into it, available for download..
