Popups
 

Cyclo, I plan to install a popup filter now that I get popups on more pages I visit, including GF. Nothing against banners, but the popups are just to annoying and entice me to activate a filter software on my proxy.
Maybe others will do that too and maybe filter also the banners "in one run", because the filter software does provide it all at once.

Greets, Moak

I was going to start a thread about pop ups too. Why did they come all of a sudden :confused:

we have to catch up with MS and AOL, please add more pop-unders too

I didn't change anything. We've been using the same ad code since last Summer.

There are popups. Have a look into the HTML source of every gnutellaforums page:
There is a link to http://ads1.ad-flow.com/?DC=gnutellanews-Top (showing banner on top),
which now starts also a popup (in IE6) showing:

http://www.merittravel.net/indexblack695.html or
http://ads.ad-flow.com/?DP=57369&AI=...9768&MH=1&MW=1 etc...

Block pop-ups etc free ... not HOSTS file
 

If you hate Ads you need "The Proxomitron" freeware.

I am seeing NO pop-ups and NO Ads on the forums with no editing of my filter lists.

I use a free tool called "The Proxomitron" on a Windows box. It runs under WINE on Linux too.

This is a Universal Web Filter tool and is the base for the commercial adsubtract program. You can change, add or delete any HTTP header, any HTML code or script on the fly. This tool rocks and with some time improving my filters I now block at least 80% of the Ads on the Web! You can make filters to allow pop-ups after a page loads but not during loading or during closing for example. Blocks banners and anything else you desire too. ANYTHING! Scripts, ActiveX, any word, ANYTHING!

Let me give you an example:

I wrote a filter set for a buddy who is leaning German.
I have a regular expresion type list of ad servers to block.
My filter looks for graphics from the ad servers and as I load a page from the web it changes the HTML code to substitute my own banners in the place of the ads, but keeps the same dimensions and placment from the HTML of the pages I am filtering. I made 100 animated GIFs with the 100 most common words fading from German to English (Dog fades to Houndin). Now when my buddy surfs he gets to see German language helper pop-ups instead of ad-flow or doubleclick or visa graphics.
This also tripled the speed of MY net surfing since I am blocking graphics or loading alternates from my local machine instead of off the web.

That's the kind of power this program offers!

Anonymizing proxies and lot's of other stuff too!

Search for it! "The Proxomitron" rocks, rocks rocks!

That popup is a really great idea to get more spam. Show a I-want-to-get-shagged-JLO-like-girl and the possibility to enter your current email address. Sweet.

PS: But the girl looks nice!

or this girl (new popup)

Thanks Moak great tip :D

Only if you are stupid enough to use microsoft products.

Actually, the programs that contain spyware are not from Microsoft.

But if you didn't run windows you would have a OS where you can't easily install spyware without the user knowing it, thus no need for ad-aware.

Why does anyone stick with a OS that crashes daily, is easy to get viruses on, it's easy to install spyware you don't know about, IE allows popups all over the place and you have to BUY and run a outside program to get rid of them, the mail program STILL in 2002 allows people to send you programs that RUN INSTANTLY without asking you anything, you have to worry about how many windows you have open or else blue screen bye bye and they still don't fix any of this.

You don't know what it's like to have a crash & virus free computer till you try it.

Running Win2K crash and virusfree ;)

And the wide varity of great software that is available for it......... :D

I hope this server isn't a mocrosoft product, looking through another sites logs, is it really this easy to hack into a microsoft server?
I see these lines over and over every day, plus another one with maybe 200 "N" characters and then what looks like machine code, like as if this would cause a buffer overflow.
You have got to be kidding me. "root.exe" HAHAHAHA!!!
Oh, and I have several friends that run win 2K and they have had viruses take them down and crashes all the time so don't lie.

And you call this secure?
Everyone else uses NT (a microsoft product), if you can't beat them then be a cow and join the rest of the idiots.
OSX rocks.

It's running FreeBSD

Your are a real as*!! If you are running ANY OS you can break in to them. Windows NT or W2k (because it is a Microsoft) it has been popular to break into. It just the childish behavior, lash out to anyone that is bigger or have more money than you. As we can see in today world, sue anyone that you think will have some money or insurance. “I will try to get something for free, without any work. So, where is the lawyer that will help me?”. :p
You behaving exactly like a cow, and do exactly like the cow you are so afraid off!! Mo, mo… :D
And you know the same as I know that both Linux and Novell system is vulnerably for attacks too, that INCLUDES Mac. So be a nice boy/girl and behave now… LOL
Ever heard (mo, mo. hehe) off Firewalls and virusprotection? ;)

Please get a clue.
That's a SERVER LOG, how do you put it behind a firewall when you want to serve up pages?
cmd.exe ??? only microsoft users can be this dumb.

Mooooo, Mooooo and kneel before the microsoft god.

I was wondering about that Kath. LOL.

Anyway, it's an endless discussion about the battles of the OS. Fact is, none mentioned is 100% secure, virus free or crash proof. So let's leave it at that, shall we?

And the one about Bill gates beeing a lemming....? :D
