tribalfusion spyware question

[John]

I surf ebay a lot. They say they do not support spyware. From my research it
seems this tribalfusion spyware is big and it is planted in banner ads on
ebays web pages. I am continually getting a security warning dialog box that
says: The current web page is trying to open a site on the internet. Do you
want to allow this? Then it lists 2 urls: http://atribalfusion.com and
res://ieframe.dll. I am constantly having to click No to make the dialog box
go away. Does anyone know what I can do to prevent this from loading but get
rid of the annoying dialog box.

Thanks

Use the MVPS HOSTS file to fully block ads, if this is what you desire.
