Are you using free dial-up ISPs?(eg. Netzero, Freei, etc...)
And if you've ever wanted to get rid of those annoying ad banners... you're in right place! Now I'll explain how to remove ad banners on your monitor and save screen space and your precious bandwidth.

Necessary program : Portmon(114kb)
(You can get NT version at http://www.sysinternals.com/portmon.htm)

This is a general way. I'll focus on Netzero here, but you can use this mathod on most of free ISPs. Though you won't need their connection program in the future, you have to download in order to make your account. After you make your account(don't forget to use fake address), run Portmon(above link), and connect to your ISP in normal way. Now when you successfully connect to the ISP and the program is verifying your password, change window to Portmon and find something like Length: 43: ~.#...%%.2.0.3: [email protected]~ below the other section. Now you're looking at your genuine ID and encrypted password. 2.0.3:[email protected] is your ID and next characters from 0 to 1 is your encrypted password(some ISPs don't even bother to encrypt passwords) In this case, the password is 0NQJRUU1.
2.0.3: before your ID is program version and it may be different or some might don't have one.
For another example, if you try it to Worldspy, you would get something like
Length: 53:~.#[email protected].}.~
Here, your ID is [email protected]
and the password is vl087o6
If you get caught in confusion that're related with problems like from where an ID and password start or end, just try until you succeed :-p. These are usually seperated by . or ! mark.
You're done now! Just make another dial-up connection(My computer -> Dial-up Networking -> Make new connection), fill in entries with the ID and password you got from Portmon and your ISP's telephone number.(Or maybe there already your ISP's connection exist, in this case, just change phone number and use the ID and password.)
Isn't it incredibly simple? Why do you bother to watch those ads!
