You browse to a web page and, before or after you arrive, you get one of those aggravating video-like commercials. Not only is it intrusive, it wastes time and slows down your browser. Aaaargh! I found the following hint on my PCWorld feed. It was written by Jared Newman of PCWorld:
“Here's a neat piece of Windows software called FlashMute. It installs to your system tray and can deny Flash access to your audio hardware. Just click the icon or hit Ctrl-Alt-M to switch it on and off. Note: Anti-virus programs tend to flare up when visiting FlashMute's download page. The developer says it's because FlashMute uses the same method of hooking into your browser as some types of AdWare, but it's only intercepting sound from Flash and other Web sources. Fair warning.”
