Question

How do I get the advertisement box off of My Yahoo home page?

Answer 1

Your Yahoo home page is free... because there is advertising.  You can't remove it.  Advertising is what makes all this free stuff (Y!A, mail, personal web pages, etc.) possible.

Answer 2

I use a 2 pronged attack and it works pretty well for me against both pop-ups and unwanted advertisements.

1.) Enable pop-up blocker:

For IE

Go to Tools >> Pop-Up Blocker >> and select "Turn on pop-up blocker" option.

For Firefox

Go to Tools >> Options >> Content Tab

Select the "Block pop up windows" option, then click OK

2.) Add the AdBlocker Plus extension for Firefox (make sure and select the EasyElement+EasyList subscriptions.)

or

Add IE7 Pro to IE

Hope this works for you as well as it does for me.
