Host File - Ad Blocking

---

Haven't seen this posted so here is a hosts file for blocking ads. I removed the block in for CNN ads so the CNN app would still work. This would be for rooted users just extract the "Hosts" file and copy to /system/ect I recommend renaming your exiting file to hosts.bak. I use "Root Explorer" to do this. This will be useful to those who have installed the flash as now we have a boat load of ads.

thanks :)

There's an app in the market:

Thanks I prefer not to use an app if I don't have to. Will the app work on nonrooted xooms? I think that would be useful to some.

Edit:
Read that it doesn't so kinda pointless if you know how to copy a file.

Adfree has been around for a while and has an advantage over copying files all the time - it updates the host file whenever you need it to.

thanks works great

Thanks guys. Don't forget to hit "THANKS" if I've helped. BTW I use this on my Android phone too (Thanks Calkulin) it goes in the same location.

I use ad free and love it. Blocks all ads even websites and updates are provided easily via the app. Again alot easier than having to copy the file every time.
