How do you effectively use IE8 InPrivate filter as an adblock?

I downloaded something called rules.xml and installed it, it said it worked. I also downloaded a registry file to make the InPrivate filter be turned on every time I use IE8, and that works.





It seems to be working but I still see ads, what's the deal?|||These are partly 3rd party cookies.


INTERNET EXPLORER: Tools%26gt; Internet Options%26gt; Privacy%26gt; Advanced:


here check 'Override automatic....'; 'Allow session cookies'; 'Allow 1st party cookies' %26amp; 'Block 3rd Party Cookies'.


IE doesn't handle these cookies very well, and some are going to slip in.


Switch to Firefox, and be completely done with it:


Get Firefox as your default browser %26amp; use it for everyday surfing; fall back to IE only for "last resort" viewing of substandard websites %26amp; Windows updates.


The following tips help, but methods (vectors) constantly change.


FIREFOX: Tools%26gt; Options%26gt; Privacy%26gt; top drop menu set to "Firefox will use custom settings..."%26gt; Check 'Accept Cookies from sites'


►%26amp; Un-Check 'Accept 3rd Party cookies'





This list is a few of the essential items you should have.


Note that the Internet is so dynamic, and exploits crop up almost hourly, making it imperative to stay current with all phases of Windows defensive measures, and keep all rubbish out: stopped @ your doorstep.
