Frequently Asked Questions
| Adextinguisher isnt listed in "Add/Remove programs". How do I remove it? |
|---|
| 1. Disable the HTTP proxy in your web browser 2. If running adextinguisher as a service (adextsvc.exe), stop it by executing "net stop adextsvc" from the windows command line. 3. Delete all files called adextinguisher.exe (Windows 95/98/ME) or adextsvc.exe (Windows 2000/XP/2003) on your hard disk. |
| Could you please add THIS NEW FEATURE to Adexinguisher? |
|---|
| Addition of new features by Adextinguishers original developer Mike Ingle has ceased. This software project is not likely to have any new releases. The blocking list may still be updated in the future. |
| How do I create my own Ad Blocking list? Can I use more than one list?? |
|---|
| 1. Make your own list instructions. 2. Yes, as many lists as you want eg: my list + yours + your friends. Tell me if you make a list of your own, perhaps I can include your rules in the main adextingusiher block.txt rules file. |
| Does Adextinguisher stop popup windows from opening new browser windows? |
|---|
| No, but Adextinguisher can block the large ad images inside popular popup windows eg: X10 or Tripod so the popup window that opens doesnt contain any images. |
| Will Adextinguisher work with my Cable/ADSL connection? |
|---|
| Yes. I put the proxy server settings in my Dial up networking proxy settings for my ADSL connection. However depending on the modem you use for your cable/adsl connection the proxy settings may have to be entered in a different place eg: the modems internal settings. |
| Adextinguisher sounds good. What is the cost? |
|---|
| Adextinguisher is completely FREE. |
| Do you have a mailing list that I can join? |
|---|
| There wouldnt be any point in doing that because this software project is not likely to have any new releases. The blocking list may still be updated in the future. |
| HELP! Adextinguisher isnt working |
|---|
| Please read the HELP page. |
| I can see ads on a website, what can you do? |
|---|
| Email me with the exact location of the website and i'll do my best to get rid of the new ads. |
