    FYREFLYE  Well, I downloaded and restarted but I still get ads on Safari, notably the especially annoying animated one on MyYahoo!, while it blocks half the title header on the NY Times page. More alarming, I can't Find any evidence of the existence of Mac-Zone on my HD other than the .dmg, the install package and the receipt. Without knowing what this app is exactly supposed to do (there's no instructions) I have to wait for more evidence and more feedback before I judge it.

    ANDREWA121  The package installs a replacement /etc/hosts file (/etc is an invisible directory with UNIX system files and the like). The replacement file basically redirects certain domain names (associated with advertisements) to a localhost address, with the ultimate result being that the ads that the webpage is trying to load are not found when your browser looks for them on your local machine. it's a low-level hack. I haven't tried it, so I can't say how well it works, but for now, I'll stick to either PithHelmet or SafariBlock
