Block out Unwanted adverts when browsing the internet and watching videos on Youtube!
I found these interesting instructions about using the hosts file to block unwanted IP addresses so that when you are browsing the internet your not always plagued by annoying adverts.
When I tried this out it even prevents some youtube advertisements! Although it doesn't obviously sensor you from all of it as there are literally millions of advertising sites!
Anyway here is the link follow the instructions carefully if you do attempt this.

Make sure that if your using Vista or 7 you have to open the file as an admin (as it says). You can only save the file by opening hosts from notepad otherwise it will only let you save it as a .txt if you 'open with'.
We have tested this on many PC's including XP, Vista and Windows 7 and they have all worked fine. If you a have any questions or problems drop us a comment below we'd be happy to help!
