Many of you will probably know of this, but if you don't or havn't done it yet, do it now!
http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~atman/spam/adblock.shtml
Do what it says untill the end of that long list of ad servers. And then add these ones:
127.0.0.1 download.abetterinternet.com
127.0.0.1 dst.trafficsyndicate.com
127.0.0.1 view.atdmt.com
127.0.0.1 adfarm.mediaplex.com
127.0.0.1 xlime.offeroptimizer.com
127.0.0.1 xadso.offeroptimizer.com
127.0.0.1 cdn2.adsdk.com
And many places you go on the internet, you will not see ads.
127.0.0.1 is simply referring to your computer (redirects you to your own computer) So if you are hosting a website, in some ad spaces you will see your site.
To add your own, type 127.0.0.1 then 7 spaces, then the ad server.]
Popups just become less annoying and flashing banners won't make you blind
Also be sure to read the section: "Enhanced Privacy"
I have used the Hosts file for a long time, but never saw such a complete list.
