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...

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
