Question
Double Underlined Text Ads
How do I block those annoying double underlined text ads from popping up in most all web sites I visit? It is very difficult to read through a web page with these popping up, and most of them don't even pertain to the subject matter of the web page.
Hi,
First try the procedure here:
What the Tech- Disable Vibrant Ads
http://www.whatthetech.com/2010/09/15/how-to-disable-vibrant-ads
Another option:
Internet Options> Security> Restricted Sites> Sites, place these URLs in Restricted Sites:
*.us.intellitxt.com
*.vibrantmedia.com
Another option:
Add an entry in the HOSTS file.
Make sure that Windows is showing hidden files and is not hiding file extensions for known file types (access these settings from Control Panel> Folder Options> View) then find the HOSTS file
at [C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc] Open the HOSTS file with notepad. Add these lines, each on a separate line, just below "127.0.0.1 localhost" and "::1 localhost"
127.0.0.1 us.intellitxt.com
127.0.0.1 vibrantmedia.com
Click on File> Save and close the HOSTS file.
More on the HOSTS file at

This (frequently updated) HOSTS file will block many ads *and* sites hosting malicious software. It will occasionally block a site you want to access- read the article so that you know how to temporarily disable it.
