WebWasher Ad Blocker?

Archived from groups: comp.security.firewalls (More info?)

I installed WebWasher with the impression that blocked banners ads and
anoying scripts that run on web pages. I am using the Google popup
blocker and it works fine. However, I can still see frames with ads
that are very distracting even though WebWasher seems to be running
perfectly. Are there particular settings that need to be made. I am
not very familiar with the terminology that is being presented to me
on the WebWasher program page. Under Proxy Engine I have Client
checked. Under Standard Filter, I have all checked except Popup
Blocker (which is covered by Google). Under privacy I have nothing
checked as I have another cookie program working with that. Does
WebWasher really cut out Advertisements a la Norton Internet Firewall
(which I have had too many problems with) where under the word
"Advertisement" on a page, nothing but whitespace appears. If not,
what is the program of choice (preferably freeware) that I might use
to accomplish this. Thank you for any help with this.
