Cheater87, I have taken the time to go through Newgrounds.com and write this filter to remove all the ads that I saw:

[Patterns]
Name = "NewGrounds Cleaner [Kye-U]"
Active = TRUE
URL = "([^/]++.|)newgrounds.com/"
Limit = 4096
Match = "$NEST(<script,*(a.as-us.falkag.net|iframe_rightmedia_box|server.cpmstar.com|Ads_cnturl|adbrite.com|interclick.com|open_player\(\))*,</script>(<br><br>|))"
"|$NEST(<a,*(phpAdsNew/adclick.php|/ads/|secure2.convio.net|adbrite.com)*,</a>(<br><br>|))"
"|$NEST(<iframe,*iframe_(gorilla_sky|rightmedia_box).html*,</iframe>)"

This is a filter for Proxomitron. To install and setup Proxomitron, visit this guide:

http://kyeu.hostingzero.com/proxo/resources/setup.php

To import the filter, follow these steps:

1. Highlight the entire filter. Then either press CTRL + C or right-click on it and click on "Copy"

2. Open Proxomitron's main screen. Click on the "Web Page Filters" button.

3. Click on an existing filter of which you want the new filter to be inserted before. Once it is highlighted, right-click and click on "Import Filters from Clipboard".

4. Click on "Apply" then "OK".

5. Save your configuration file.

I hope you enjoy.

also the castlecops forum is an excellent resources for everything proxomitron and various filter sets including Kye-U's security pack. I myself use Grypen's filters.

so your saying if i have firefox's adblock i'm safe???

[Notok]

They are speaking of Proxomitron.. I'm not sure how you got adblock out of the posts?

[WSFuser]

{QUOTE-> so your saying if i have firefox's adblock i'm safe??? <-QUOTE}
adblock will also help out, but what exactly do u want to block from newgrounds?

[cheater87]

the nasty spyware it sends out it killed out last compter

[WSFuser]

i visit newgrounds and i dont think ive been hit by spyware. but if ure sure it has spyware try using a few antispyware scanners like spy sweeper and microsoft antispyware. keep at least one in realtime.

[cheater87]

i have a firefox adfilter what does the other thing do?

[WSFuser]

proxomitron can do many things from altering the look of websites to blocking flash, java, ads, cookies etc. if u want a filter set to try, i use grypens filters (http://castlecops.com/f183-Grypen_Proxomitron.html), u may need to put sites and forum such as Wilders to the bypass list tho.

[cheater87]

ok i have the ablock for firefox for the ads the noscrip extension for the java and micromedia and have firefox set to not except all cookies except sites i hate it set to. am i safe to go on it. oh yea and i have spywareblaster 3.4 fully updated and everything on and msas with real time protection and its fully updated am i safe for newgrounds???

[drake456]

Yes, your safe there is no spywere on newgrounds.com, ive been on that site a million times, as long as your useing firefox nothing will happen. 8)

and you can download a fileset for adblock here
that blocks most ads.

[Notok]

Yup, at least Dr. Web's web scanner says it is.

You could also use something like Online Armor to remove that kind of stuff from websites.

[cheater87]
