Then replace it with the one attached to this post or you can find it here

Now you should be all set. Test it by typing http://www.doubleclick.net into your browser. It should just give you a page not found error


Now I know some people find Ad blocking morally reprehensible, if this applies to you move along. Full size flash banners suck on mobile browsers "Catch Bin Laden and win a pink razr or What celebrity's foot is this" This garbage takes up bandwidth and time it to render.

Have fun.
How do I do this, I've downloaded the hosts file to my SD card and tried to copy it over to my ect folder with Su file manager, but it doesn't put it in the ect dir. And I have both rw's selected (red dots at the top). Any help would be appreciated.
