how it works
It's possible to set up a name server as authoritative for any domain you choose,
allowing you to specify the DNS records for that domain. You can also configure
most computers to be sort of mini-nameservers for themselves, so that they check
their own DNS records before asking a nameserver. Either way, you get to say what
hostname points to what IP address. If you haven't guessed already, the way you
block ads it to provide bogus information about the domains we don't want to see -
ie, all those servers out there that dedicate their existence to spewing out
banner ads.

Probably the most common way people block ads like this is with something called
the "hosts file". The hosts file is a simple list of hostnames and their
corresponding IP addresses, which your computer looks at every time you try and
contact a previously unknown hostname. If it finds an entry for the computer
you're trying to reach, it sets the IP address for that computer to be whatever's
in the hosts file.

127.0.0.1 is a special IP address which, to a computer, always means that
computer. Any time a machine sends a network request to 127.0.0.1, it is talking
to itself. This is very useful when it comes to blocking ads, because all we have
to do is specify the IP address of any ad server to be 127.0.0.1. And to do that,
all we have to do is edit the hosts file. What will happen then is something like
this:

1. you visit a web page
2. the web page contains a banner ad stored on the server "ads.example.com"
3. your computer says "ads.example.com? never heard of it. wait a second, let's

listed
5. it finds the hostname, which points to 127.0.0.1
6. "great", says the computer, and sends off a request to 127.0.0.1 for the

* Windows 95 / 98 / ME: C:\Windows (I think)
* Windows NT: C:\WinNT\hosts
* Windows 2000: C:\WinNT\system32\drivers\etc\
* Windows XP: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
* FreeBSD / Linux / Mac OS X / Unixish operating systems: /etc/hosts
* Classic Mac OS: please read this helpful information submitted by David

here is the hosts list which are serving you the ads just append it to your hosts
file and enjoy ad free surfing makes things faster. if you want ad from certain
site then just remove it from the list below.
