Reading between the lines above I detect a degree of skepticism - from
the first sentence on the above-quoted web page:

"This is a redirector for squid that intercepts advertising (banners,
popup windows, flash animations, etc), page counters and some web bugs
(as found)."

Any disbelief should be taken up with the author or by actually
installing the software (as I have here at Comcare and two previous
sites.)  :-)

I am not in any way disparaging squidguard which is the best of the
(free) website filters, but IMAO Ad Zapper is the best of the web
advertising filters (cf Junkbuster and a number of others.)
