Killing Ads in 3 easy step

1. Open a filebrowser and navigate to the following location:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

2. Open the file "hosts" and add the following lines:

127.0.0.1 exitpop.paltalk.com
127.0.0.1 advertising.paltalk.com

3. Save the file and close/open paltalk and check it out. If everything worked out *MOST*(not all) of the ads should read "Page cannot be displayed".

cool, i was thinking of blocking the ei too, i think ice did something like that, the program block ie, so you wont get th pop up ie screen

All this does it reroute hosts. It is commonly used by crackers to keep apps from reporting keys...etc

Basicly it stops paltalk from being able to communicate with its ad servers.

but would it still get the blank popups, u know the ie ads but now they will be blank something liek that

Well you could make a simple program with a timer and if a page with "Cannot be displayed" in the title it will auto close the window. With a fast enough timer u shouldnt even see the window.

Hey hackwood that was my idea!!!

hahah anyway its very simple to do, just as hackwood said, then you would'nt need to add stuff to your "hosts" file.

The easyest method i know would be using my FindWindowWild function to find any windows contain Ads by using this

Popup = FindWindowWild ("*Addwhatevertext", False)[/quote]

or you could do this to stop any IE's from popping up, but to be more reliable i would use my FindWindowWild function
as it will find any window containing the words "paltalk" or "Ads" or "popup"

Dim ieframe As Long

ieframe = FindWindow("ieframe", vbNullString)
Call SendMessageLong(ieframe, WM_CLOSE, 0&, 0&)

If ieframe = 0 Then
Msgbox "Error: Cannot find window"
Exit Sub
End If

and if you used that last code on a timer you would just remove
Msgbox "Error: Cannot find window"

otherwise you will get alot of msgbox popups

how to remove the banners in the old paltalk(build 553)?

by **Departure** » Fri Apr 22, 2005 9:48 am

same way mark, as it only looks for the ie windows that comes up,

if enough people want it i could make BnP killer for paltalk 553, at the momment i have made one in the programs section forum for paltalk 8,

even tho its says paltalk 8 it could still work for version 7
