Adblock Plus

Now that I've installed this on my computer what am I supposed to do with it and what does it do? When I put my cursor over the ABP icon it shows me that nothing has been blocked. Thanks.

This is what it says before you D/L the software.

Ever been annoyed by all those ads and banners on the internet that often take longer to download than everything else on the page? Install Adblock Plus now and get rid of them.

Right-click on a banner and choose "Adblock" from the context menu - the banner won't be downloaded again. Maybe even replace parts of the banner address with star symbols to block similar banners as well. Or you select a filter subscription when Adblock Plus starts up the first time, then even this simple task will usually be unnecessary: the filter subscription will block most advertisements fully automatically.
