Ditch Internet Explorer and use AdBlock with Firefox:

Any ways to do that in autoit FOR IE 7 ?

[TomTJ]

weaponx is right, use Firefox

But you can try this: http://adblockplus.org/

It's seems like there is also an IE extension...

there is a file in windows dir called HOSTS (with no extension)

just add this line for each banner you want to remove: "120.0.0.1 the banner's url without http:// prefix"

so for example add "127.0.0.1 ad.bannernetwork.it" and banners form ad.bannernetwork.it will be ridirected to 120.0.0.1 which is you!

@ torels

And the banner would not be displayed? Any other ways ? Because i want the banner to be REPLACED with the AD BLOCKED text.

from the autoit helpfile

Remarks

You may use _IEBodyReadHTML to read the current HTML contents of the document body, manipulat that string and then write it back with _IEBodyWriteHTML. You may also use _IEDocInsertHTML, _IEDocInsertText and the innerHTML, innerText, outerHTML and outerText features of _IEPropertyGet and _IEPropertySet to control specific elements without rewriting large blocks of text.

The HOSTS file is exactly what you need. Just set up a tiny server on your PC with an index file saying "Advertisement Blocked", and then redirect the ads to 127.0.0.1

Umm.. those might works.. But only in Embedded browser (self-created browser instead of IE).. I 'would like to program a script that will read the current accessed webpage in IE and read the HTML , replace the ads (e.g. : ad.yieldmanager.com) with a image.
