<p>Greetings from the Uninvited Ads company<img

Your browser displays the text Greetings from the
Uninvited Ads company on the screen. Then it connects
to www.uninvitedads.com and requests a file called
/nifty_images/image7.gif. (The suffix .gif indicates that
this is a Graphics Interchange Format file, a common
image file format.) The computer at
www.uninvitedads.com sends the file to the browser,
which displays the image.
When Ad Blocking is enabled and you connect to a Web
site, it scans Web pages and compares their contents to
two lists:
A default list of ads that Ad Blocking blocks
1
automatically. Use LiveUpdate to keep the list of
blocked ads current.
A list that you create as you block specific ads. You
1
can add to and change this list.
If the page includes files from a blocked domain, Ad
Blocking removes the link and downloads the rest of the
page.
As you use the Internet, you may find ads that are not
included on the default Ad Blocking list. You can use the
Ad Trashcan to add these to your personal list of blocked
ads.
To use the Ad Trashcan
1 Open your Web browser and view the page containing
the advertisement that you want to block.
2 Open Norton AntiSpam.
3 In the main window, double-click Ad Blocking.
4 In the Ad Blocking window, ensure that Enable Ad
Blocking is checked.
