  Summary

  No Good<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jan 3, 2009<p/>If I wanted to block bad files, I didn't see this happening, but I have programs which are supposed to do so, and you can't update the bad sites so not worth my time until I can update the bad sites since I believe I saw that if you paid for updates I can't afford this.

• Does What It Says...

  BigThunder11/3/2008

  Pros

  ...on the box! It's not the perfect answer to blocking ALL web-page advertising, but then what is? This will block the majority of Ad's served up along with most banners etc.. Site XYZ[dot]com had so many flipping ad's it took over 45 seconds to load the page! After running "The AD-Police", clearing ALL my cookies, and restarting my browser, XYZ[dot]com loaded the same page in about 10 seconds! Similar results on other sites as well. A very worthy addition to dwnld and install. Like it says, "run it once and forget it". It saves a backup of your original hosts file and allows you to remove URL's within the installed hosts list if you desire (although it is a manual hunt and peck process). It will speed up a lot of sites you go to simply because the ad-servers are being blocked. Worth the time and trouble for me. Very pleased with the results!

  Cons

  No search feature for URLS on list for editing and no way to ad to the list. No update file seems to be available that I could find on the site. That said, it still does a fine job of blocking the vast majority of ad servers (not all) and is a very worthy download.

• Doesn't Work

  ExtremeDownloader2/16/2006

  Pros

  None

  Cons

  This program doesn't work! There is an icon on the Desktop which is perfectly fine. When the program is launched, a splash screen shows up. After that, it asks if you want to modify the HOSTS file. Click Yes and you get a debug error. At first I thought it was my anti-spyware. After disabling all anti-spyware programs and unloading Shaw Secure, I got the same error. The Uninstall feature is hard to find, in the Program Files directory. You have to manually delete the program's folder in the Program Files directory (this may or may not occur).
