First - Stomp The Spider. I cannot say how much I loathe that damn ad! [Mad] You can't even turn it off
As a matter of fact, Lab, you
can turn it off.
Step 1 (which you may already have completed -- I can't remember): Get
FireFox .
Step 2: Install one or more of the following extensions:
AdBlock , which allows you to set up a list of filters which automatically remove images and content. For example, the filter "*/banners/*" will remove any web page item (image, flash program, etc) with "/banners/" anywhere in the URL. A short list of general filters will get rid of most online ads, and you can always add new ones from the right-click menu. (Just right-click something you don't like, choose "Adblock Image," and create a new filter based on the image's URL.)
Flashblock automatically hides all flash animations. Flash programs are replaced with a simple button, which you can use to view the animation if you so desire.
Nuke Anything allows you to selectively remove content with a simple mouse command. Right-click any object, choose "remove this object," and *poof* -- it's gone!
Step 3: Next time you see the spider, use the extension of your choice to make it disappear!
