I've tried it out and it works fine here too. Removes the
Walmart ad. You just get a bit of text saying "Advertisement"
and then if curious, can unblock the ads easily.

Doesn't work for me -- I get both the text saying "Advertisement" and
the ad itself!!!

Does anyone know how to get Proxomitron and ZoneAlarm to do it?

I got Proxomitron to kill images on groups.yahoo.com, so that instead of WalMart I see a blank outline of a rectangle with the notice "advertisement" above it--this to my mind is a great improvement.
