IE-SPYAD: Restricted Sites List for Internet Explorer

IE-SPYAD adds a long list of sites and domains associated with known advertisers, marketers, and crapware pushers to the Restricted sites zone of Internet Explorer.Once you merge this list of sites and domains into the Registry, the web sites for these companies will not be able to use cookies, ActiveX controls, Java applets, or scripting to compromise your privacy or your PC while you surf the Net. Nor will they be able to use your browser to push unwanted pop-ups, cookies, or auto-installing programs on your PC.

Please note that IE-SPYAD is not an ad blocker. It will not block standard banner ads in Internet Explorer. What this Restricted sites list of known advertisers and crapware pushers will do, however, is:

  • Stop unwanted crapware from being installed behind your back via "drive-by-downloads";
  • Prevent the hijacking of your home page and other key Internet Explorer settings;
  • Shut down ActiveX, Java, and scripting, all of which can be employed to push obnoxious advertising on you and compromise your privacy and security;
  • Block cookies, which can be used to monitor and track your travels around the Internet;
  • Combat obnoxious script-based popups that clutter your screen and force unwanted advertising on you.

Hi All:

IE-SPYAD (the IE Restricted zone list) and AGNIS (the AtGuard/NIS/NPF/Outpost/AdShield ad block list) have been updated again. They can be downloaded from:

http://www.spywarewarrior.com/uiuc/resource.htm

The "original" IE-SPYAD includes an install/uninstall utility. IE-SPYAD for ZonedOut requires the ZonedOut utility from FunkyToad:

http://www.funkytoad.com/zonedout.htm

The AGNIS block lists are compatible with AtGuard 3.x and ALL versions of NIS as well as NPF 2003 and 2004. There are separate versions AGNIS for users of Agnitum Outpost and AdShield.

If you're running any of the most recent versions of NIS or NPF, you must use the ProWAGoN utility written by Christian Haagensen to load, remove, and backup block lists:

If you have questions or comments about IE-SPYAD or any of the AGNIS lists, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Best,

Eric L. Howes

Hi All:

All of my block lists have been updated, including:

* IE-SPYAD (original)

* IE-SPYAD2

* IE-SPYAD for ZonedOut

* AGNIS (for AtGuard/NIS/NPF)

* AGNIS for Outpost

* AGNIS for AdShield

* AGNIS Sites List

You can download all of these new versions at:

http://www.spywarewarrior.com/uiuc/resource.htm

Included with the original version of IE-SPYAD/IE-SPYAD2 is an uninstaller (IE-ADS-UNINST.REG) for the *previous* and *current* versions of IE-SPYAD. IE-SPYAD/IE-SPYAD2 also includes a batch file installation utility (INSTALL.BAT) that can be used to install and uninstall IE-SPYAD.

To use the IE-SPYAD for ZonedOut version of the Restricted sites list, you must download the free ZonedOut utility from FunkyToad:

http://www.funkytoad.com/zonedout.htm

The original AGNIS block lists are compatible with AtGuard 3.x and ALL versions of Norton Internet Security as well as Norton Personal Firewall 2003 and 2004. There are separate versions of AGNIS for users of Agnitum Outpost and AdShield.

If you're running NIS 2002 Pro, NIS 2003, NIS 2003 Pro, NIS 2004, NIS 2004 Pro, NIS 2005, NIS 2006, NPF 2003, NPF 2004, NPF 2005, or NPF 2006 you CAN use the AGNIS block lists, however, you must use the ProWAGoN block list utility written by Christian Haagensen to load, remove, and backup ad block lists from NIS. Do NOT attempt to install AGNIS block lists in any of these versions of NIS or NPF by manually merging .REG files or using the AGNIS.BAT batch file utility included with AGNIS. Use the ProWAGoN utility instead. You can download ProWAGoN here:

http://www.spywarewarrior.com/uiuc/resource.htm#prowagon

A summary of what's new, updated, and changed in IE-SPYAD and AGNIS can be found here:

If you have any questions or comments about IE-SPYAD, AGNIS, AGNIS for Outpost, or AGNIS for AdShield, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Best,

Eric L. Howes

Please remember to re-immunize with SpywareBlaster & Spybot S&D. Some items considered non-threats or defunct are disabled by IE-Spyad.
