Just a tiny FYI to anyone interested:
I found a small registry download this morning that blocks Flash ads for us Internet Explorer users!
http://johnhaller.com/jh/useful_stuff/disable_flash.asp)
It's at the bottom of the page listed as: disable_flash.reg
Download it then double-click it to add it to your registry and poof! No more annoying Flash ads for us IE users! Yah!
(You will need to restart your browser even though the page says you don't.)
(It's safe and easy to use -- just follow the instructions. :thumbsup: )
I am using it and it does work. Hooray! :D
