'); ?>

There is a huge database in windows that has a bunch of strings in it. I havebeen told it searches for things like "ad" "banner" "free" "?=" in string patterns and removes them from the browser.

This database can even be updated to add more strings.

The problem of using different names is that I already a million webpages on the internet that use some of these words and certain strings I can't change.

There has to be a better way to avoid it..

Longhorn is a M$ beta project.. I am hoping that they don't release it with this fucking thing.
