Annoying ads

[Ringel05]

I don't trust free stuff. Adblock? I learned way way way back........nothing is free.


whats' the catch? whats' the downside?
If you have Win10 you end up "on the list"?

I need. I need. I need.

I have Win 10 and I have no idea what nebulous "list" you're referring to.

The list of privacy data fountains.

Oh those. I block all data mining.

Check it out:

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search" /v "AllowCortana" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search" /v "CortanaEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search" /v "SearchboxTaskbarMode" /t REG_DWORD /d 0
reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search" /v "BingSearchEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AdvertisingInfo" /v "Enabled" /d 0 /f
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppHost" /v "EnableWebContentEvaluation" /d 0 /f
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Input\TIPC" /v "Enabled" /d 0 /f
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\User Profile" /v "HttpAcceptLanguageOptOut" /d 1 /f
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DeviceAccess\Global\{BFA794E4-F964-4FDB-90F6-51056BFE4B44}" /v "Value" /d "Deny" /f
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Personalization\Settings" /v "AcceptedPrivacyPolicy" /d 0 /f
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InputPersonalization" /v "RestrictImplicitTextCollection" /d 1 /f
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InputPersonalization" /v "RestrictImplicitInkCollection" /d 1 /f
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InputPersonalization\TrainedDataStore" /v "HarvestContacts" /d 0 /f
REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" /v "NoAutoUpdate" /D 0 /F
REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Software Protection Platform" /v "NoGenTicket" /D 1 /F
REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection" /v "AllowTelemetry" /D 0 /F
REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender" /v "DisableAntiSpyware" /D 0 /F

So? I have Cortana completely disabled, renamed the executable file and I have Windows Defender turned off as for the rest I have the telemetry blocked by the firewall.

I have everything blocked by the firewall. Not even the clock can update.

download adblock

...Until a month before Christmas...then disable it.


Jus sayin'

How the fuck else are you supposed to know what a millennial wants for Christmas in July?

 

[P F Tinmore]

I haven't had this problem since my OP. Was there a change in policy?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

There have been a lot of ads that load with sound.

It is really annoying to have some asshole yacking over my videos.

Tissue?

This is of course all the fault of Global Warming, Putin and North Korean Hackers, working together they have succeeded in genius and evil fashion in destroying P F's ENTIRE PLANET so much that he is unable to download AdBlocker

Nah....it's the Joooooos!!!!!
