Put a Bandaid on the problem..

created a hosts file .. listed with as many adservers possable all pointed at 127.0.0.1

the mail culperit was a HP add that was still present on VirtualDr till earlier this week..

some of the webpages now load a little quicker..

The ads never realy worried me.. It is how many companies make their revenue. like a fact of life.. but like a badly placed bilboard on a hiway.. some of these banner adds can cause problems.. and need to be delt with.. in my case.. I REMOVED ALL of them..well 99%

Still means that there is a problem with flash and FF.. but the programmers will get to the problem in due course.. but is seems that the number of people that have noticed the problem and then thos ethat have actually said something..

I have noted that the problem is more noticable on AMD CPU systems.. but i am comparing a 2000XP with a PIII-1G.. and a Duron 800..

oh well thats life..


Cheers.. and thanks for the Input.. always appreciated..
