IE-SPYAD: Restricted Sites List for Internet Explorer
IE-SPYAD adds a long list of sites and domains associated with known advertisers, marketers, and crapware pushers to the Restricted sites zone of Internet Explorer.Once you merge this list of sites and domains into the Registry, the web sites for these companies will not be able to use cookies, ActiveX controls, Java applets, or scripting to compromise your privacy or your PC while you surf the Net. Nor will they be able to use your browser to push unwanted pop-ups, cookies, or auto-installing programs on your PC.
Please note that IE-SPYAD is not an ad blocker. It will not block standard banner ads in Internet Explorer. What this Restricted sites list of known advertisers and crapware pushers will do, however, is:

stop unwanted crapware from being installed behind your

back via "drive-by-downloads";

prevent the hijacking of your home page and other key

Internet Explorer settings;

shut down ActiveX, Java, and scripting, all of which can

be employed to push obnoxious advertising on you and
compromise your privacy and security;

block cookies, which can be used to monitor and track your

travels around the Internet;

combat obnoxious script-based popups that clutter your

screen and force unwanted advertising on you.
All of my block lists have been updated, including:

E-SPYAD (original)
IE-SPYAD2
IE-SPYAD for ZonedOut
AGNIS (for AtGuard/NIS/NPF)
AGNIS for Outpost
AGNIS for AdShield

IE-SPYAD & AGNIS Lists Updated (Feb 5)

Hi All:

IE-SPYAD (the IE Restricted zone list) and AGNIS (the AtGuard/NIS/NPF/Outpost/AdShield ad block list) have been updated again. They can be downloaded from:

http://www.spywarewarrior.com/uiuc/resource.htm

Please note that the "original" Reg-file-based IE-SPYAD & IE-SPYAD2 have been replaced by IE-SPYAD for ZonedOut. ZonedOut is a free, convenient utility for maintaining IE zone lists. You can find a link to ZonedOut as well as the IE-SPYAD list used with it on the traditional download page listed above.

The AGNIS block lists are compatible with AtGuard 3.x and ALL versions of NIS as well as NPF 2003 and 2004. There are separate versions AGNIS for users of Agnitum Outpost and AdShield.

If you're running any of the most recent versions of NIS or NPF, you must use the ProWAGoN utility written by Christian Haagensen to load, remove, and backup block lists:

If you have questions or comments about IE-SPYAD or any of the AGNIS lists, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Best,
