Many people use a program called Paltalk. They don't necessarily pay for a green nick so they use a black nick. Going into the rooms with a black nick is very annoying because of the advertising and lots of pop-ups. You will probably be annoyed with the advertisements slowing you down, and those pop-ups. In this article, you will learn how to kill pop-ups and how to remove advertisements from your Paltalk windows (older versions).

Steps

Go to My Computer.

Open up your local disk. In most computers, it is usually (C:).

Open the folder named "Windows."

Look for your "System 32" folder. Open the folder.

Search for a folder named "Drivers." Open the folder.

Open the folder "Etc" and look for a file named "Hosts."

Right click on the file "hosts" and click on "Send it as a shortcut to desktop" menu.

Go to your desktop. Close all the files and folders and look for a shortcut of the file named "hosts" in which you just created. This host file determines which domain is allowed or restricted on your computer.

We can block the Paltalk advertising and pop-ups by simply editing this host file.

Right-click on the desktop and open a new notepad.

Type in two lines www.exit.paltalk.com and www.advertising.paltalk.com. EDIT add all sites listed

Type the above lines in the following format to get results:

127.0.0.1 exitpop.paltalk.com and

127.0.0.1 advertising.paltalk.com

after doing this add all the following sites in the same manner with 127.0.0.1 in front of each line.

yads.zedo.com

bannerfarm.ace.advertising.com

udmserve.net

19.142.13/s0.2mdn.net

Right-click on the host file and click on (open it with note pad)or directly click on the file and choose note pad to open from the list.

After opening the host file in note pad ,simply copy all the sites/lines from the other note pad (as corrected and shown in step 17 above) and paste them right under the last line "local host".

Save the file.

Go to your Paltalk program,open it,and you will see no advertising, no popups all you will see is "page cannot be displayed" in the banners and no pop ups will appear.
