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.

I don't know if this is a labor of love or merely the brainchild of four very gifted games designers, but Level Up is a really weird mash-up of gaming elements that you have probably never seen in a Flash game before.

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
