    I don't know of any solution that blocks "every" ad out there.

    You might give the MVPS HOSTS file a try. I used the MVPS HOSTS file before and it was very effective at blocking A LOT of the ads out there. They update their HOSTS file approximately once per month.

    I have since switched to the hpHosts HOSTS file (similar to the MVPS HOSTS) for awhile. hpHosts has a little different philosophy about which host names to block. They also update their HOSTS file approximately once per month.

    Either HOSTS file will also block access to many malicious web sites.

    Either HOSTS file can be viewed in a text editor such as Notepad (after you unZIP the file) so you can see/edit which sites will be blocked after you place/name the HOSTS file properly.

    Be CERTAIN the FIRST "active" line your HOSTS is
    Code:
    127.0.0.1   localhost
