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

    C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetc

    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”.

    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.

    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)

    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

    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
