Thanks for the reply, can you enlighten me on this MVPS hosts file? I'm not
familiar with this.
The other thing you mentioned, I do have Firefox, but i usually use IE,
however, i can use firefox.
The Firefox adblock plus, is this a download? I've never heard of this
either.
But if this helps, I will certainly change to firefox, and download whatever
I need.

Max, thanks again for replying to my posts, and helping me. I want to say
sorry for being so ignorant of how some of these things work, however, I've
downloaded the addon for mozilla, but it's an 'XPI' file, i thought it would
be an exe file or something that would load itself.
Once again, i appologize for being ignorant of these files, and would
appreciate a little more deatil as to what to do with the xpi file, and the
hosts file.

thanks
G

Tools > Add-ons > Extensions > Install. Then navigate to the *.xpi file,
highlight it, and click Open. Firefox will install it. You activate it
after installation by going to Extensions, highlighting and clicking Enable.
