I FINALLY blocked those horrific lowermybills.com ads...

To do this you'll be editing your hosts files. This works in Windows XP and likely works in other Windows version though I have not verified it.

Navigate to your hosts file by entering the follwing into a broswer window or using My Computer.

C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc

Open the file called "hosts" using Notepad or any other editor and insert this line.

127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net

Also, add the MVPS hosts file before this and you stop 99% of ads.
