GREYTHORNE'S JAVASCRIPT BANNER KILLER
This copy courtesy of fravia's pages of reverse engineering
17 July 1998
Note: this proggy uses popup windows to capture popup windows
(kind of like fighting fire with fire) if your browser doesnt
display popup windows, then why are you trying to run this?
you are ALREADY immune to the silly banner popups!
This one is pre-programmed to kill the prohosting.com banners, the tripod.com
banners, and the geocities.com banners.
It makes use of hidden frames in a remote control which can either be minimized
while you browse or left open and used as a remote control with your favorite
sites at button access to your fingertips. Please have fun with this! (I really
do use this thing on my home pc in case you are wondering)
To make this work, just point your browser at the home.htm as your start page
and make any setting changes you desire in the 6 html pages below (all must be
in the same directory to work properly)
For fastest results, just change the address in GO.HTM to point where you
usually like to have your browser start (worry about anything else later)
