Block ads in Chrome-based SRWare Iron with a single file
SRWare offers a simple .ini file for download that blacklists tons of known ad hosts. Follow this link to view the file on SRWare's website. Select all the text, copy it, and paste it into Iron's existing adblock.ini file. It's likely stored in C:\Program Files\SRWare Iron\ on your computer.
Visit a site like Yahoo or AOL, and you'll see the file in action - just look for broken image placeholders and error messages. It's a fast, easy way to speed up an already fast browser and save a little bit of bandwidth in the process.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

I use admuncher. Blocks ads in every application on my PC. No need to "hack" or "tweak" or "mod" anything. :)

That sounds awesome, I gotta download it.
Out of curiosity though... how do your advertisers feel about you blogging about this?

Hi
I find SEWare Iron great but i cant do what you are saying, i went to the website to get the adblock update, copy, and paste to the adblock.ini but when i try to save it tells me "make sure the filename and path are correct".
only way i can close the adblock.ini is by not saving.
any idea how i can fix this?

I get used to use adblock plus in the firefox browser, and it wipe out ads cleanly.. What i meant is that it doesn't have "This webpage is not available..." text on it. It is very neat.
I wish the adblock feature on the Srware Iron would be like it
