Absolutely. Some sites link to ads from "Ad Servers" specifically designed to display ads to you which can be quickly and easily blocked with TWDNS. Sometimes these Ad Servers may attempt to gather information from you, cause slower loading for the site you're visiting, serve annoying popup ads, or worse, all three of the above. Within minutes you can make some simple file changes that will enable TreeWalk to block these types of ads, as explained on our "Ad Server Blocking" page. You can also make your own Ad Blocker Updater with a simple batch file and GNU's "wget".

For a HOSTS file and blacklist aggregator with installer and built-in updater, check out the ConFetch Plug-ins for TreeWalk site.
