Free will be good. Smile

Use a Hosts file instead to block out most ads.

They are updated regularly, so subscribing to it is a good idea.

Another one will be use a firewall. Some firewalls have ad-blocking capabilities. Kerio and R-Firewall are two.

Kerio is a bit aggressive in my opinion; some sites don't work properly with Kerio ad-blocking feature on.

sorry for hijacking.. but this is regarding ad muncher too. when i uninstall it, my msn lags (a few seconds delay after i press ‘enter&#8217 Wink . I think it’s somehow related to admuncher because when i reinstalled it again, the problem was gone. Can someone help me? I dont really want that program on my comp anymore

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Can you try uninstalling it again?

Also uninstall and reinstall MSN.

geforce 8600gt
win xp home sp1

its a new pc so im quite shock when i found it becoming laggy after i installed everything that came with the pc.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Everything?

If you want your PC to be in top notch condition, just install the necessary drivers that are needed for the motherboard and graphics card.

The rest, don't need. They serve no other purpose than to waste resources.

Download Regsearch

Unzip it and run Regsearch.exe

Referring to this picture (boxed up in blue):

Copy and paste the following in.

First box: AdMuncher
Second box: Ad Muncher

Click OK to search

Then post back the log file it creates... I see if can remove it from the registry for you.

Make sure Ad Muncher is already uninstalled before you run this script.

After uninstalling, restart the computer.

Download this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?9gs2cdgv1nj

Save it to your desktop or anywhere convenient, unzip it. Double click on fix.reg. It will prompt you to merge. Click Yes.
