Block Paltalk Advertisements
Many people use a program called Paltalk. They don't necessarily pay for a green nick so they use a black nick. Going into the rooms with a black nick is very annoying because of the advertising and lots of pop-ups. You will probably be annoyed with the advertisements slowing you down, and those pop-ups. In this article, you will learn how to kill pop-ups and how to remove advertisements from your Paltalk windows (older versions).
Steps
- Go to My Computer.
- Open up your local disk. In most computers, it is usually (C:).
- Open the folder named "Windows."
- Look for your "System 32" folder. Open the folder.
- Search for a folder named "Drivers." Open the folder.
- Open the folder "Etc" and look for a file named "Hosts."
- Right click on the file "hosts" and click on "Send it as a shortcut to desktop" menu.
- Go to your desktop. Close all the files and folders and look for a shortcut of the file named "hosts" in which you just created. This host file determines which domain is allowed or restricted on your computer.
