AdKiller
Taylor Made Software's Freeware AdKiller blocks out about 80% of the ads you are forced to see on websites. In simple terms, it blocks the websites sending the ads just as "Family Browsers" block offending websites. Taylor Made Software's AdKiller also gives you an option of deleting cookies ("Kill Cookies" option) as soon as they are created, thus helping you to protect your privacy (especially from sites like doubleclick.net). Since the annoying ads are not loaded into your browser, your surfing speed increases considerably! You may use this server to display and appropriate message or picture ("Show AdKiller" option must be checked for picture).Additionally, the "Clear Host" option clears the host for all websites regardless of the browser or ISP settings. When AdKiller is loaded, an icon will appear in the System Tray. Click on this Icon to access the menu. Our Review: In an age of greater commercialism on the internet every man and his dog seems to think that they can get you traffic by advertising in banner ad's. Unfortunately, they don't seem to realise that it doesn't work. Everyone hates banner ad's, they chew up your bandwith and are generally annoying. AdKiller is a little utility to get rid of those annoying ad's and generally make your internet experience a bit quicker. It works for some ad's (including the annoying ICQ ones) but seems to miss some of the smaller banner ad's (the developer claims 80% effectiveness). It can also block cookies too. Quite good.
