One way to block web advertising

I'm using the Guidescope proxy service. It's working for me.

Doesn't seem to block the ads in the messages... any suggestions
to get it to work?

It's blocking them for me. I just see a piece of text saying
"ADVERTISEMENT".

I'm still using an old version.
guide: version 2000/10/09-19:20:21
Guidescope Proxy(TM) 0.98
I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Doesn't it have a way for you to manually tell it you don't want to
see a certain ad again? It's been a while since I installed it.

Hmm. Cool.

Maybe it has something to do with the firewall I'm behind.
Anyway, I've recently decided I shouldn't have to run software
to stop ads (and something about sending all my http trafic
through some company's server in New Jersey raises a red flag).
Instead, I'll just send an angry e-mail to yahoo, and eventually
quit using their service.

I'm really tired of ads. I don't have any deep philosophical
thing to say here, for once. I'm just tired of seeing them.

J Gill: This (freeware) item http://proxomitron.org (earlier version
2.0, anyway) worked well as a software add-stripper in "harmony" with
Zonelabs' "ZoneAlarm" software firewall (freeware version
downloadable at: http://www.zonelabs.com/zap26_za_grid.html ).

Same question--I installed Proxomitron and ZoneAlarm; now how do I exterminate WalMart?
