Member1. 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.com3. 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”.

Administratorcool, 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

MemberAll 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.

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

MemberWell 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.

MemberHey 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)
April 20, 2005 at 7:43 pm #184335Departure
Memberor 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 IfApril 20, 2005 at 7:45 pm #184334Departure
Memberand 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

April 22, 2005 at 2:48 pm #184331Departure
Membersame 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
