I'm using it on Hero and on my new phone, it works very well and it's full free software (GPL v3). Give it a chance !

AdAway is brilliant! So glad I read this thread and found it, massive thumbs up!

There is AdFree also

Sorry but this needs to be done. Your stealing from the developers. Put this in your application to view the hosts file and see if they are blocking the ads.

BufferedReader in = null;
Boolean result = true;
try {
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("/etc/hosts")));
String line;
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null)
{
if (line.contains("admob")) // change this to whichever site you use
{
result = false;
break;
}
}
} catch(Exception e){}
if(result == false){
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"admob detected in /etc/hosts", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
adBlockerFound();
}
public void adblockerFound(){
/**
Do all the bad stuff here. I usually use a dialog and simply notify the user but I still let them use the application. I pretty much give them a guilt trip. But if you wanna be nasty you can do this.finish();

Ive also seen people ask for SU and then make the hosts file writeable and edit the admob out during the readline()
