Example: How to online advertisement network provider's ad?: There are many online advertisement network provider such as Clicksor.com, Bidvertiser.com, Google Adwords, Adtegrity.com and etc . Most of them use <script> tag to embeded their customer's advertisement to publisher's website. We can use ie7pro url blocker to block this type of advertisement.; Adtegrity.com advertisement code:; <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" SRC="http://content.adtegrity.net/rmtag3.js"></SCRIPT><SCRIPT language="JavaScript">var rm_host = "http://ad.adtegrity.net";var rm_section_id = 129;rmShowAd("728x90");</SCRIPT>; Url Block code: *adtegrity.net/rmtag3.js*; Be careful, if you ure *adtegrity.net*, that will cause you can not visit http://adtegrity.net also ; If you use rmtag3.js, that may be block rmtag3.js from any site.
Use image/div/frame block instead of url block: For url block only prevent content of url to display but not remove tags , url block may cause script erro or blank area. SO ,if you want to block an advertisement, first think about using image/div/frame block block; For example: <img src="http://images.stardock.com/store/GC2_468x60.gif" width="468" height="60" border="1" />; you can use url block rule *GC2_468x60.gif* with a 468*60 blank area left ;or use image block rule *GC2_468x60.gif* with nothing left which looks like the ad never exists.
Image Blocker
What does image block do?: image block can block ads defined by <img> tag. You can use not only the src attribute but also other attribute such as width,height,border and etc in blocking rules .The blocked <img> tag will be removed from HTML code , making the ad picture looks like never exists .
Small Tips: We know most picture in 468*60 are ads , you can add image rules *width*468*height*60* to block all of them. Using regular expression you can write more accurately rules.
Div Block
What does div block do?: Div block can block ads defined by <div> tag. You can use all attribute support by <div> tag such as id,class,width,height,style and etc in blocking rules .The blocked <div> tag will be removed from HTML code , making the div content looks like never exists .

Some Question: Ask: If I want to filter all images under a directory named "ad_image", I CAN'T add a IMG filter entry like "/ad_image/" since IE7Pro will mis-interprete this as a Regex?; Answer: */ad_image/* will not be interpreted as Regex .; Ask: What is regular expressions?; Answer:If you want to understand Regular Expressions, you should go to this site as he has a pretty good primer on it.http://www.regular-expressions.info/.
