CONSTANTIN  ... and here I am again, after some extensive trouble-shooting. AdGate 3.5.1 no longer causes the kernel panics the way that 3.5.0 did. Thus, I would urge everyone with the same sort of trouble to upgrade to Adgate 3.5.1 if your primary browser is Safari.

Also, the web address for Hao Li's website should be changed to http://haoli.dnsalias.com/

The present address listed above is 404.  (Version 3.5.1)

CONSTANTIN  I have used AdGate for ages, and love the efficiency with which it removes ads. However, I recently started running into trouble with it, specifically while using OS X 10.3.7

Under OSX 10.3.7 and the version of Safari that ships with it, I could cause a kernel panic (!!!) whenever I browsed to ebay.com with Safari (all other browsers were OK). Once I turned off AdGate, the issues disappeared.

I will try the clean-up suggestions next, as I suspect that cookies and their ilk may be involved. However, I have yet to understand how an application like AdGate could help to cause a kernel panic.   (Version 3.5.1)

EDRUSH  AdGate can take a little time to get "trained" but then it is wonderful. After a day or two, just look at its "preferences" window to see how many nasty ads it has blocked.  (Version 3.5)
