Getting Rid of the Highly Irritating 'Swat the Fly' Ad


Picture credit: BBA
Excel web sharing - spreadsheet collaboration over the Internet made easy with BadBlueThere's an ad floating around the web called 'Swat the Fly'. It's a rude piece of offal, which emanates a hideous buzzing noise every few seconds. Here's how to rid yourself of this dung, which is slightly less useful than an integrated ashtray in a child safety seat.

If you know what you're doing, edit your hosts file, which can be found in your Windows folder. You can edit the file using Windows' Notepad. Remember to make a backup in case you mess anything up. And, no, I explicitly disclaim any liability for anything you do to your machine.

Here's what my file looks like. The line with tribalfusion in it will suppress the fly from hell.

Here's what the rest of the Internet thinks of this horrid secretion. That some marketer got the okay to distribute this Flash-based diarrhea is truly frightening.

Can anyone recommend the best Network Monitoring tool for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: N-able N-central software inventory management
? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!
