You may also press Shift button while clicking this option to see Resource Block window first. Using this dialog you may fine-tune the banner blocking but this step is optional.

You may also press Shift button while clicking this option to see Popup Block window first. Using this dialog you may fine-tune the popup blocking but this step is optional.

This command allows you to diagnose filter processing and find errors in your filter structure. See Understanding banner filters to learn about banner filters;

• [Find this resource in resource list] - when the mouse hovers over a banner, choose this option to locate it in Resources tab of Progress and Statistics window which allows performing of advanced operations with this banner;

• [Locate target document] - locates the document corresponding to the selected link in the Documents tab which allows performing of advanced operations with this document;

This command is useful when you want to complete downloading of the page that was broken because of poor Internet connection or you have broken it explicitly having clicked Stop button in the browser or aborted downloading of specific resources. When executing this command, Ad Annihilator finds all aborted resources and tries to resume their downloading;

• [Show/hide menu and toolbars] - shows or hides Internet Explorer menus and toolbars. This command is useful to apply in some popup windows that are opened without Internet Explorer menus and toolbars. This is often the case for advertisement popup windows. With this command you are able to access Internet Explorer menus and toolbars even in such popups. Some popups, however, prohibit even browser context menus. To overcome this and still open Internet Explorer menus and toolbars use similar command in browser system menu;

• [Unblock this banner] - when the mouse hovers over a blocked banner, choose this option to unblock it for now and future browsing as well. You may also press Shift button while clicking this option to see Resource Unblock window first. Using this dialog you may fine-tune the banner unblocking but this step is optional.

• [Unblock this popup] - choose this option to unblock the current window in which the context menu opened for future browsing. You may also press Shift button while clicking this option to see Popup Unblock window first. Using this dialog you may fine-tune the popup unblocking but this step is optional.

• [Open all links] (available only if text in the browser window is selected) - opens Open links window from which you can open all links contained in the text you selected in new browser windows. This command makes it possible to open multiple links in a single operation. Use it when you find several contiguous links on a web page and want to open and see them all at once.
