How do I get rid of browser advertising? Browser provided by Tiscali etc. This is for a friend. I've done it on mine but forgotten how.

Thanks as always.

Woody.

I can't really help much but I do love sticking my nose in other peoples' mis-haps. smile.gif

By browser ads.....do you mean for the browser itself? (splashscreen intros, etc.?)
Or typical ads that you see while browsing around on the internet?

Nevermind, you mean splashscreens.
Did I already say I can't help much? Well, I can't. laugh.gif But that's okay cause you're Woody & I've seen your name like a bajillions times on the forum and I'm sure Danny or Adarvi or Dakotah or Minuet or some other superhero will land in this thread and save the day.

Me? I'm gonna have a ciggy.

Woody, go the the page that is linked below and scroll down to the bit called Branding - Remove, it is about three quarters of the way down the page.

I'm sure that is what you are on about and it should give the result you desire.

If you have SpywareBlaster ("some folks call is SpyBlaster"):
1. Go into 'Tools->Misc IE. Settings'
2. Under 'Internet Explorer Customizations' type in what you wish
The default for IE7 is: Windows Internet Explorer
If I'm remembering correctly I think previous versions were: Microsoft Internet Explorer

Horror stories!!! blink.gif We all want to read horror stories.
Especially about Browsers we may be thinking about trying.
I prefer to avoid horror situations by getting a little info from my friends. biggrin.gif

Tiscali is not a browser it is an Internet Service Provider. smile.gif

Thanks Hazel.
Woody said "Browser provided by Tiscali etc.".I thought it was something new.
Horror stories about ISPs sound very interesting also.
I imagine the info wouldn't do me much good on this side of the pond though.

P.S. IE7 with IE7Pro works just fine for us to get rid of all the ads.
Whoops,almost forgot about SpywareBlaster.Thanks SpywareBlaster!!!

I'm with BT. This is for a friend who is with Tiscali.

Thanks Andavari but she won't have Spywareblaster. Perhaps I should introduce her to it. smile.gif
