I posted this on the FORD BANNER AD thread as well, hoping LHB can help!!!
Karl, Your the COMPUTER GENIUS, so as far as I could find out, this is called a Google AdSense program!! I'm POSITIVE this is the reason the forum loads so SLOWLY for me as I don't get this advertising at my work computer(Windows 98) and the HF loads WAY FASTER. Do you know how to SHUT OFF Google AdSense??

Not off the top pf my head, but I'm sure it's pretty easy. I'll look into it for you. I suspect the same trick used for getting rid iff Intellitext can be used, but I'll let you know.
SWEET!! I was looking, and all I could find was :

Stopping Google Ads with the Hosts File
All the Google text ads seem to come from the address pagead2.googlesyndication.com. If we place that name in the Windows Hosts file and point it to a dummy address then the Google ads will not appear.
First though, we need to locate the hosts file. Here is the usual location for the major Windows versions:
Windows 9x, ME C:\WINDOWS
Windows NT (and some 2K) C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc Windows 2K, XP, 2003 C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
The Hosts file is simply called "HOSTS" and has no file extension.
It's a simple text file and must only be changed with a plain text editor like Notepad and never a word processing program such as MS Word.
First, we need to open the Hosts file in Notepad. If you don't know how to do that then locate the Hosts file in Windows Explorer and right-click on it. Select "Open" and then check "Select the program from a list." You'll then be presented with list of programs; select Notepad. You should now see a simple text file.
Go to the first blank line at the bottom of the file and type in this entry:
127.0.0.1 pagead2.googlesyndication.com
Make sure you leave no blank lines before this entry.
Just save the file and you are finished. Saving this change may spark an alert from your anti-spyware software but it's OK, just approve the change.
If you've followed the instructions carefully you should never see Google AdSense text ads again. If at a future stage you want to see the ads again, just use Notepad to delete the line you just added.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I did this and it works in the fact that it doesn't LOAD the ad, but you can see it's still LOOKING for it and that slows EVERYTHING down!!!
