About The Advertisement Blocking Plug-in

More and more web sites are becoming filled with ads. With a fast connection these are generally not a problem but often it's nice just to surf without the distraction of blinking, moving ads. Outpost Firewall can block the display of banner ads from certain advertisers. Outpost Firewall uses two methods:

• Ad string blocking blocks the advertisment based on "words" (Ad-strings) in Internet advertisement URLs located in the HTML tags "<IMG SRC=" and "<A HREF=". Outpost Firewall replaces these banners with the text: [AD-IMG] or [AD].

• Ad size blocking blocks the advertisment based on the size of images with the links (Ad-size). Outpost Firewall replaces these banners with the text [AD-SIZE] in the web page.

Important

Outpost Firewall blocks banner ads according to the settings you specify. Some legitimate images could be blocked if the setting is too strict, such as adding the word "image" to the list of blocked words. In addition, a few ads will not be blocked with this plug-in's default settings.
