Plug-Ins

Note: Some banners cannot be replaced with transparent images and will be replaced with

text messages regardless the option specified.

Modern Internet advertisements not only include graphic banners, they also use various

ActiveX objects to display advertisements. The simplest example is Macromedia Flash

movies, which are broadly used on web sites. Such advertisements consume a lot more

system resources and network bandwidth than traditional banners and are not cut off by

most standard banner removal software tools.

Outpost Firewall can block advertisements that are represented by various web page

ActiveX objects thus saving your system resources and traffic bandwidth. Select the Block

advertising objects to enable this filtering.

This way, Outpost Firewall will block such objects either when it encounters an

<OBJECT> tag—used to embed these objects into a web page—that contains any of the

specified ad keywords, or when the size of the object display area matches one of the

specified ad sizes.

All plug-in settings can be saved to a configuration file so you can reload them if you find

that any modification proved unsatisfactory, or so you can easily transfer your settings to

another computer.
