AdAware is for removing ad-ware, aka spy-ware. AFAIK, it does not actually
block advertisements, which is what AdMuncher does.

My Business edition keeps on saying this to me at intervals while I am
using VISTA but if I accept the invitation to see what it has blocked
everything it shows me has Permission! Anyone know what's up?

Re: Freeware adblocker for VISTA IE7 ?

That's what I thought but as I said, I received an email suggesting it.

I'll try AdMuncher at least to see how it works.

Thanks for the pointer.

PS __ I've installed AdMuncher but in VISTA and with IE7 it totally
stops IE7 loading the website I particularly want to go to. So I've
disabled it for now until I play with options but a quick turning off
of every option on the tabs still stopped AdMuncher from loading. I'll
have to check to see if it is IE7 security settings unless you have any
suggestions.
