Re: How to identify Ad on a web page

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I use an old free version of AdShield, which does not replace the ads, they are just gone,
which is how I like it. If one slips through because I do not have the definition for it
in my .abl file (block definitions file), I right click the ad and block not that specific
image, but anything which might come from the same source. (e.g. for
http://www.jurgita.com/layer.php?name=Surf%20Control, I would block
http://www.jurgita.com/ . Yours is the first post that I have seen wanting the blocked Ad
replaced by text for what is being blocked. Probably there is a third party Ad blocker
which might replace the Ad image with its path in text. But that usually would not give a
clue to what the Ad is for. You would probably get something like this:
http://www.jurgita.com/layer.php?name=Surf%20Control which would be meaningless to you.
