Proxomitron is a local HTTP web-filtering proxy. It contains a powerful text matching engine specially designed to re-write web pages on the fly. You can use one of the built-in filtering rules, modify them or even write your own. With Proxomitron, you can stop pop-up, pop-under or pop-over ad windows, convert ads/banners into simple text links, freeze animated GIFs, stop blinking text etc.
Note: The original author of Proxomitron has passed on, and the program is no longer being developed.

V4.5 June Release
I've been using proxomitron since win95, more than 10 years now. Best ad/trash/online scam filter EVER. Best thing is, no matter what new exploit shows up.. all you need are a few lines of code to block it/modify it. This baby literally rewrites the web.
V4.5 June Release
Works fine with Windows Vista
Use ie7 with ie7pro.
This makes it possible to quickly enable/disable the proxyserver with Ctrl+F9
awesome utility!! it's sad the author passed away though..
There's nice patch for the latest version of Proxomitron located here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~vsetten/prox/ . It changes the interface slighly (I guess it's more readable that way) and furthermore improves the way program deals with rules.
I advise everyone to read what's written at the bottom of the aforementioned webpage. In the memory of Scott Lemmon, the original creator of Proxomitron.
For those interested: someone managed to decompile Proxomitron completely, analyse and rebuild it, dubbed Proxomitron Reborn. More information in the forum thread https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1486
