4.2 Ad Blocking

More and more web sites are becoming filled with ads. With a fast connection these are

generally not a problem but often it’s nice just to surf without the distraction of blinking,

moving ads.

To change the settings of Outpost Firewall’s ad blocking, right-click the system tray icon

to get the shortcut menu, then select Options and go to the Plug-Ins tab. Click

Advertisement Blocking to highlight it and then click the Settings button to get the

following dialog:

Outpost Firewall can block the display of banner ads from certain advertisers. As the

picture shows, Outpost Firewall comes with a large list of the most common words in

Internet advertisement URLs located within the HTML tags “<IMG SRC=” and “<A

HREF=”. To add another word to the list, simply start typing it in the text field above the

list and click the Add button. Outpost Firewall replaces any banners containing one of

these words with the text: [AD-IMG].

Be sure that Block Ad content containing specific keywords is selected. Click Add to

add the new entry to the list or Modify to change it.
