Orgers using Internet Explorer

I've just swapped from Firefox to IE7 (not permanently, I'm test-driving IE7), and was disgusted by the amount of adverts I saw on the internet. I've been using Firefox with Adblock for about 2 years now and I never saw an advert. So I went looking for how to do the same with IE. I could find not a single free option. All programs were either paid for, or something that wasn't integrated into the browser. Then I went to my nerd forum Neowin.net, there I found this motherfucker:

http://everythingisnt.com/hosts.html

It's one text file containing all known ads and it basically (to not get too geeky for ya'll) removes ads from pages. It's amazing - seriously get it. I thought I should share this discovery with you - you'll never see an advert again! Want proof?

Go to megaupload.com, then install the program, go back to megaupload.com. smile

Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.
You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop.
