(free) Proxomitron blocks Yahoo Ads

I downloaded the freeware Proxomitron 4.0 from

http://www.proxomitron.org

installed it (its a free-standing executable which
does not make any changes to registry, sys, or
ini files, just unzip it into any folder you like)

configured IE browser (in Internet Options -
Connections - ISP Settings - check the
"Use proxy server" box - select Advanced -
enter "localhost" as Proxy Adress -
enter "8080" as Port Number)

Using the DEFAULT settings of Proxomitron:

NO MORE YAHOO ADS in the messages!

and, no "proxy server" service to pay,
no software to buy...

I did that also, but I had to list yahoo.groups as a place where I did not want to see image files. It works, however, and it was easy.
