I'm behind in the times, or something, because I just discovered Adblock for Firefox. It's so nice. By selecting specific servers to block scripts/adds from, it blocks adds from everywhere. Adds on the Orchard - gone. Ezboard - gone. Pop-ups - gone. DeviantArt adds - gone. Geocities sidebars? - Gone. Yay! So, if you want Adblock, it's fairly easy to download and install. Took me about 30 seconds, but I have a fast connection. Then you can add various servers and wildcards to block. <3 Or, if you don't use Firefox ... *cough* I'm sorry. ;_;

I had to start using FireFoxx after I got a real bad Trojan using IE. It is way to easy to hack into a comp when they use broadband and IE, FireFoxx makes it a lot harder. Thanks for the info for Adblock. . .took 10 seconds for me (I timed it) *giggles*

Great! Yeah, IE scares me. I switched about a year ago when I started hearing all the bad things that could break through IE's weak barriers. Sure, Firefox takes a little longer to load, but... Tabbed Browsing! XD
/geek.
Mine probably took less than 30 seconds, but I was multi-tasking both on and off the computer, so I didn't pay too much attention. Either way, it's a really small file. ^_^
