actually I have not the faintest idea how Zone Alarm's ad blocking works.
I thought it filters by IPs or domain names but then again  my browser 
software lets me block certain sized images so presumably Zone Alarm does 
something comparable. As banners usually have pseudo-standardized sizes 
the software might look out for these numbers in the file headers sent 
 from a server.

Here is a list of those image sizes, which usually occur in banners, that 
you might want to avoid:

	 width=468px
	 width=280px
	 width=250px
	 width=240px
	 width=234px
	 width=180px
	 width=160px
	 width=125px
	 width=120px
	 width=88px

	 height=600px
	 height=400px
	 height=336px
	 height=300px
	 height=250px
	 height=150px
	 height=125px
	 height=120px
	 height=90px
	 height=60px
	 height=31px

This is just a guess but as you requested  _any_  input I thought I might 
as well pin down my initial thoughts :-)


Cheers,


jens
