Over here at ALB Tech, we see a LOT of customers with PC’s loaded with spyware, malware, and viruses.  It’s hard to say whether clicking on web ads lead to any of these, but the internet sure looks a lot better with them missing!  AdBlock Plus (as well as it’s similarly-named and equally effective competitor AdBlock) does exactly what you would expect – it blocks ads as you load a web page into your browser.  Imagine heading to FaceBook, CNN.com or any of your usual haunts without all the flashing junk lining the edges of your window.  It’s easy!  Just head over to adblockplus.org and install the extension for your browser.  IE, Chrome, Firefox and even Safari are all supported.  Since this is an open source application, here’s the best part – IT’s FREE!  You’re welcome.

Here’s some before-and after screenshots:
