Removing IntelliTxt Ad

To remove the IntelliTxt craps that started to appears on some sites, just look at the source code of the page where the ads appear and block access to the ad domain by editing the windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts file.

Here is my current list:

0.0.0.0 itxt.vibrantmedia.com
0.0.0.0 www.vibrantmedia.com
0.0.0.0 vibrantmedia.com
0.0.0.0 intellitxt.com

for Internet Explorer:
To prevent all of this, just enter the sites in Restricted Zone. Thus, no javascript, no cookies, etc. Very simple, easy solution.
IE:Internet Options; Security tab; click Restricted globe; click Sites...
enter sites like:
*.intellitxt.com
*.kontera,com
*.doubleclick.com
*.doubleclick.net
*.hitbox.com
etc.

Works great.
