Umm I don't seem to have it even here. I've just started using the full version of Kerio Firewall, which will remove it from the pages if you configure it strictly enough.

How to remove IntelliTXT ads:

You can see an example of them here, they only work
in MSIE, so it would seem. They're the green links
that are double-underlined.
http://www.off-road.com/jeep/questions/2004_03/ind ex.html

Go to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc and edit the
file named HOSTS, add the following to it:

0.0.0.0 itxt.vibrantmedia.com

Now close and reload MSIE for the change to take
effect, visit the site again, and behold: No more
IntelliTXT ads. I would assume this works at any
site that uses them.

Done it and thanks. Many people may prefer to use this instead:

127.0.0.1 itxt.vibrantmedia.com

I updated my host file already, but it STILL comes up everywhere!

Do i have to "activate" my host file or does IE automatically uses it?

I already added "0.0.0.0 itxt.vibrantmedia.com" to my host file, and it still won't work...

Right now i have:

127.0.0.1 localhost
0.0.0.0 itxt.vibrantmedia.com

In my host file!

THE GREEN THINGS ARE REALLY PISSING ME OFF!
i tried rebootin, didn't work!
any advice?
