a couple programs that are excellent to have are
windows clean up! (by steven someone... careful it deletes thousands of files and cleares your favorites) ewido anti-malware (excellent free program) peer guardian (in case you download form limewire or something, keep it running and it will block all ads/ and everything in case you download a corrupt file from there) avg (i have the paid version but the free works too. good anti virus protection)

just installed this one for Mozilla https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722
it is nice it tells you the scripts running and blocks them and you can choose if you want to run them or not. so far I like it a lot

Mozilla is the only way to surf fo sho... Its more versatile the IE and i like having differnt pages open within the same window and having all of them labeled on the dog ear so you can click between pages.. say like if your loading an image you didnt previously have on you computer.. Love it..

IDK the IE I run at work has tabs right at the start but the Mozila I run at home does'nt seem to offer me tabs until the page creates a link [like opening a pic file here], then I have a tab. It makes jumping between pages very annoying...

it blows me away how long it took IE to get tabbed browsing - i remember using tabs in whatever browser gnome or KDE came with back in like 1999.

Some ads still come through. Blocking scripts is a security issue. Making this thread about bypassing YT banners is somewhat disrespectful imo. YT is a free service and the banners are a form of revenue for the ownership. It's along the lines of software piracy, using a service without "paying" for it.

my web has been working faster since using this program and I love it. also the owners of this site will still get payed from the the banner ad company's out of all those ads that are on here or other sites I have never seen a member state that they have used the service from a ad here it is by word of mouth here over a blinking ad.

judging by your responce I am going to guess you have never had to pay hosting fees for a site as large as yotatech. You may be surprised at the monthly operating cost Not saying it's wrong to run add blockers (i do) just know that ads do serve as an income stream and i am going to guess that the donations to this site have probably for the most part dried up since the ad's started, so where do you suggest admins get the money ($$$ sometimes $$$$ a month) to keep yotatech running... their own pocket?
