Open your firewall. In my case it's Norton Internet Security.

For NIS users go here: Open Norton Internet Security>Personal Firewall>Configure>Networking>Restricted

Add this adress by using the "Individually" Form :

us.intellitxt.com

No "www" or "http://". Just us.intellitxt.com.

Screenshot:


That will get rid of the "autolinks". I currently trying to get rid of the "AdBrite" banner, I'll be back with more information on how soon.



Edit: This worked for me, don't really know why though.

Only for Firefox.


Open a new tab or window. In the adress bar write

about:config

and press Enter.

Do not play around with any other settings thanthe ones I will show you now;

Find the javascript.options.script and the javascript.options.ShowInConsole values. You can highlight any value in the list and press "J" to find them more quickly and easier.
Double click them. The text should become bold and be set to the value True, instead of False.

I don't know if you have to make both of them "True", but I did and I don't want to to it again, I'm lazy and it works, which is the only thing what I care about.


Now close any open Firefox window. Go to the firewall settings I described above, and add those sites to Restricted;

adbrite.com
and
3.adbrite.com

Click OK in the Firewall settings. Open up Firefox, go visit SP and voila! Half the AdBrite banner is gone

I want many big thanks and comments if it works for you, cause this took me about one hour to figure out, but it was well worth it

Personally, the ads were driving me crazy, so I added

us.intellitxt.com\*
3.adbrite.com\*
adbrite.com\*

to this plugin 'Adblock' that I have for Firefox.
It's solved the problems for me.

Thanks for posting this for others though

I haven't tried the first post, but the second post instructions do not work for me. Probably an incompat version of firefox (1.5 beta 1). Adblock doesn't really work well with it..

Lol I'll never try to help you guys out again...only 132 views.

Thanks wizzy and wildfire though

Wildfire81's suggestion didn't work however i just slightly tweaked to:

• us.intellitxt.com
  
• 3.adbrite.com
  
• adbrite.com
  

and now works. i have Firefox 1.5 beta2

Tools > Adblock > Preferences > New Filter > Add

firefox + adblock

Wooo!!

How can I input those addresses with McAfee Security Center? Please help!

The suggestions worked for me. I am glad them little links are gone.

Thanks for the tips everybody. Harvester's worked for me.

Ads? What ads? I never saw them here. Must be because I use firefox 1.5 with the adblock plus extension, in addition the the filters on my firewall.

Let's all kill the forum we love so much - nothing's free.

Thanks. I just rebuilt windows, and I hadn't re-installed all the anti-adware yet.

Excellent!

Firefox + AdBlock extension + FiltersetG filter = no ads. The NoScript extension is also a good one.

I agree with the Firefox/AdBlock/NoScript trio. Awesome to use.

Yes I have used it and works GREAT

I just use a host file. For more info go here

Thanks!

Any advice on blocking the bloated avatars on SP from loading?

^^^^^^ This is the art we all enjoy^^^^^^^^^ If you feel the avatars are so bloated don't come to THIS site. Your problem will be fixed.

Mek

p.s. part sarcastic I admit to it....See the Sig

To stop ads I recommend AdBlock Plus and any or all of these.
