Do you use your avast! web shield as ad-blocker in IE too?!

[Omid Farhang]

I do!
I've added some keyword to URL Blocking in avast! web shield to block some popular ads! any suggestion?!
now I'm happy about that because it block the additional traffic and also now I don't need additional program that work as a BHO or Toolbar in my Internet Explorer to increase time needed to load IE main window

I'll like to know a good ad blocker for IE... I think avast webshield is not designed to do so.
I use FF and AdBlock and I'm very happy without popups and ads.

[Omid Farhang]

yeah, I know about FF and Ad-Blocker PLUS and Element Blocker too
also for IE there are IE7Pro and SUPERAdBlocker. but avast! with those keyword is blocking most of the Ad and banners for me now!!! yes, it don't block Popup

Adblock Plus is the one to use in Firefox. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865
It has tremendous current support from its developer and the rest of the Adblock Plus team of contributors and filter set developers.  The old Adblock that Tech linked hasn't had any improvements for over three years and has no current filter sets.
