I just wanted to give you honour for your explanation of the Blocklist-feature
of Avast.  :)

For many users I still think that the Blocklist of Avast may be very useful.  ;)

If they KNOW about this feature, they can at least TRY it.  :)

Well latest Opera 9 will also have AdBlocking similar to the one in Firefox.
Not so flexible as i've managed to test it so far but it does the job.

RejZoR,

Thanks for a very good explanation.

In my opinion this feature of Avast should be used much more.  :)

For sure, and I have set up many.  But sometimes the effects are unexpected, as the wildcard will overlap with some other URL that you do want to see - and then, certainly when I'm tired or whatever, it can be hard to pick out which URL block is in the way!!   I would encourage people to use this, but to be careful too.
