Windows 7 - No Solution Working To Block Specific IP

Long story short, the ultimate solution, to my dilemma, would be a way to "Disable Active Scripting" on a "per-website" basis.

However, from all of the research that I have done thus far, that option looks grim.

Using Internet Explorer, here is the problem at hand:

I go to a website, one of those websites where, when you click on an Input box, say like a search field, automatically via Java Script, one Pop-Under, or more, appear.

Not Pop-Up, Pop-Under, there is a substantial difference, trust me, as Pop-Ups are stoppable.

This is a great annoyance to me, as to anyone, as that Pop-Under is almost always advertising based.

I have tried a number of solutions, from a number of various engineering sites throughout the net, to stop that Pop-Under, but, for some reason, being that Pop-Under is being called from Script, it appears impossible to stop, at any cost, short of turning off Active Scripting, which I can not afford to do, as some sites, I still need the scripting on.

Just a few of the solutions I have tried:

* I look in the source code of the web page, gather all address that refer to advertising, get the Name Server IP, add those IP's to the HOSTS file. Still gets through.

* Do a video screen capture as the Pop-Under is called, to go back slowly, and see the very fast flashing IP of the offending Pop-Under. Add that IP/Address to HOSTS, still gets through.

* Took the offending IP of the Pop-Under and attempted to block it via Windows Firewall, ...New Rule/Custom/ etc., both Inbound, and Outbound, both Local, and Remote. Still, it gets through.

I have to admit, this one bugged me, as many of the sites that display how to block a single IP using Windows Firewall, many of the folks claimed it worked for them, and quite frankly, it works for me also, AS LONG AS the IP is NOT called from Script, but when the IP is called from Script, then neither the Firewall, nor HOSTS method, any longer work.

* Added offending IP to IE's Internet Options/Restricted Sites, still gets through.

* Also understand I have the option to stop all outbound traffic, and then setup a rule for every single outbound allowance, which is ludicrous, as there are numerous outbound allowances that would be needed, and I only want to stop one single IP.


I mean, I am at wits end here, usually adding an entry to the HOSTS does the trick, but when it is called from Script, NOTHING works to stop that IP.

Don't get me wrong, I am fully aware that there are ways around the HOSTS, as some programs still get through even if you have a related IP listed in the HOSTS, but how they do it, I have not a clue, this is in fact what I need to learn.

I also fully understand, that by simply blocking the IP, the Pop-Under window, itself, will still come up, being that it is called from Script, best I can do, is stop the content in that window.

Any help would be greatly appreciated folks, as I plead total ignorance to this point.

Thank You

What do you mean with "very fast flashing IP of the offending Pop-Under"? Is it a redirect to another site?

Yes. After you click into the, "enter text" field, immediately a Pop-Under appears with a URL.

But, that very same Pop-Under immediately switches to another URL, which is the annoying ad.

So the very first URL, obviously is the redirect source, that URL/IP, is the IP I am trying to kill.

That is why I had to use a video screen capture, to capture that very first, fastly disappearing IP.

And as I said above, I was able to get that inital IP, and tried to block it every way I know how, to no avail.

If it weren't for some of those ads being of the nature of those, "full screen locked" ads that you need to reboot to get rid of, and major annoyances of that type, I would not care as much.
