all its doing is mapping local host to the various ads pushing site....you don't need to FIND anything...you can just create a text file with NO extension...call it HOSTS and put it in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc folder....and simply type:

127.0.0.1 adssite.com

127.0.0.1 adssite2.com

and so on and so on...

into this hosts file...

Davey keep it open to help others its helped me thanks for starting the thread :)

PPL have spoken. If they want the thread open, its open.

As for the orange text i was mentioning(is so annoying on some other websites), add this to your host file

127.0.0.1 www.gotoast.com

127.0.0.1 www.vibrantmedia.com

127.0.0.1 itxt.vibrantmedia.com

Simply navigate to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\ and find the hosts file with no extension, open with notepad and adjust accordingly.

As for me mentioning how Kazaa Lite website has a modified host file, it does not include the above advertising sites so you will have to add it to the host file.

Cheers

    • Is there a 'recovery' settings option in Settings? The one where we can rollback to a previous restore point. I find it very useful if there is some issue and I have to rollback to the last stable point.
    • Google brings Gemini to all Workspace for Education subscribers by David Uzondu Google has announced that its Gemini app is now accessible to all Google Workspace for Education users, regardless of age. This brings the company's generative AI directly into the suite of tools used by millions of students and teachers. The Workspace for Education platform, if you did not know, already provides a massive suite of tools like Classroom, Docs, and Drive, which are designed to work together in a school setting. Naturally, the first question on any administrator's mind is what the company plans to do with student data. Google states that Gemini usage for these accounts falls under the Workspace for Education Terms of Service. This agreement includes "enterprise-grade data protections" and a promise that user data is not reviewed by anyone or used to train the company's AI models. It also maintains compliance with regulations like FERPA and COPPA, which are fundamental requirements for any technology operating in United States schools. The experience is not one-size-fits-all, particularly for younger students. Users under the age of 18 will get a more restricted version of the app, with stricter content filters to prevent inappropriate responses and a dedicated onboarding process to teach AI literacy. To reduce the likelihood of hallucinations, the first time a younger user asks a fact-based question, a double-check feature that validates the answer using Google Search runs automatically. For educators and older students, the AI can be used to brainstorm ideas, create lesson plans, and get feedback on work. The entire service is powered by what Google calls LearnLM, a family of its AI models supposedly fine-tuned for educational purposes. Access is not mandatory, as administrators can still control which users or groups can use the Gemini app through their admin console. This rollout applies to institutions using the free Education Fundamentals, the security-focused Standard, and the feature-rich Plus editions, making it widely available immediately.
