Want to Block all Advertisements in a Web Page?

Annoyed of 3/4th of a web page filled with advertisements?

Want to block them all? Well, use Adblock Plus - Addon for Mozilla Firefox.

Install Mozilla Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/) if you have not installed so far to use Adblock Plus Addon.

Once you have installed Mozilla Firefox, setting up Adblock Plus is a very easy thing.

Steps Involved:-

1) Go to http://adblockplus.org/en/ and click Install Adblock Plus

2) Click Install Adblock Plus 1.1.3

3) Click "Allow" on the yellow bar that you see below the address bar of the Mozilla Firefox.

4) Then click "Install Now" and installation of Adblock Plus will commence.

5) Click "Restart Firefox" and now it's time to select the Subscription List (Don't worry - It is FREE) which is the most important step. You can also update the subscription list every now and then which contains the definitions and database of advertisements and their links.

6) Click "Easylist (USA)" if you have English Language set up in your Windows. Other users, choose corresponding Subscription List that are available.

Now, try browsing the same site which was full of ads. You will surely notice the difference.

You can also manually block an advertisement by right clicking the advertisement and choosing Adblock Plus: Block Image.

how can i give more than one solution when there is only one solution for the problem ;)

More than that, if a problem has a solution, why to confuse the users with more than 1 solution.

Nope, it's a different issue. Probably, run through your system with a powerful antivirus such as Avast / Kaspersky / Bitdefender. It should be able to catch some trojans. Half of the world is already using ABP. And i have been using it for years.
