I took the others suggestion and downloaded NFilter and I have none of it.
It is great, easy to setup, and free! I would suggest everyone do the
same.

It doesn't mention XP ...?


Would not load on mine.

I've been running it on XP pro SP 2 for several years. Can't remember
if there were any "gotchas" on setting it up. Are you familiar with
how it works as a proxy? My startup folder contains a shortcut to
newsproxy.exe, which is a file of 245760 bytes. The folder containing
that file also has a file nfilter.dat with all my filters in it.

What happens when you try to load it?


Another thought: Might you have a firewall that is blocking it? Might
need to give permission to newsproxy.
