We had an excellent discussion on anti-virus software. It's probably buried several pages deep now as it was pretty much beat to death. Based on that thread, my company decided to punt the Norton suite. In doing so, we also lost the web page banner blocking capability. I've tried a couple of different ones, but I'm looking for a recommendation. 2 basic requirements:

1 - Minimal hog of system resources
2 - Ability to either configure or turn off for user-specified web sites

My company uses an online ActiveX quote generation system, and sometimes add ins have to be configured to allow the web site to operate properly.

Thanks in advance.

Try using a different browser - like Avant (
It's free and requires IE5.5or later

"Built-in AD/Pop-up Blocker: Easily eliminate unwanted AD banners and pop-up pages automatically with just one click."

"Particularly useful is the built-in pop-up stopper, which eliminates annoying adverts automatically or else opens them unobtrusively in the background. You can also filter Flash animation, pictures, videos, sounds and ActiveX components to make pages load much faster."

Download a copy and try it - personally I prefer ver 10 as Ver 11 tries to be clever with Favourites/Bookmarks.

GREAT idea on the hosts file! So far, it seems to be working flawlessly.
