How to block ads in Internet Explorer 8

Ever since Firefox is prohibited in our office environment, I have to live with Internet Explorer (IE). Fine, but when I want to preview any blog post, it will shows the ads that I’m the publisher as well. I’m not comfortable with that, worrying it will violate the ads service’s TOS (term of services) as well as losing revenue!
So the solution is to block the ads from appears on IE8. I came to right post directly, which save my time a lot. You have to basically download this XML file, the list of blocked ads. And then go into IE’s ‘Manage add-ons’ and choose ‘ In-Private Filtering’ and import the XML file over there. Lost?? Follow the steps by steps here. It really useful and the ads will gone in less than 30 seconds. Cheers!!

I feel for you having to use IE. It is a most frustrating browser not aside from the fact that active X is the most effective means of transmitting viruses ever.
I followed the steps above, but then I ended up intalling an adblocker instead: http://simple-adblock.com
