[Top posting fixed] Bannerfilter just filters banners and ads, replacing them with a basic transparent GIF, empty SWF, or empty JS code. It doesn't do the whole web-site blocking thing, which manglement (sic) have told me is not allowed at our site - they believe the policy will be sufficient without any enforcement. Politics - ugh! I have no interest other than as a satisfied user of bannerfilter. If you only want to replace banner ads etc, and not restrict access beyond that, it's a good option IMHO. Cheers, James
