Its getting on my nervs that there is more and more software out there, thats blogging banners "default", with such steps, its impossibke to make sites that offer free info or whatever for free if there is now banner income, those site wil close down or they will start to create more intrusive banners, like when you enter a site you must watch a add first.

I also bought a top Antivirus kit today from Gdata, but they really blog everything default and thats a big player.

I presume you mean "blocking" not "blogging"?

Many things have been banned throughout history as they have been shown (or suspected) of causing damage to the end user.

The argument that the purveyor of damage has to make money holds little sway with the end consumer.

Sort the ad industry out so that banners etc are certifiably safe then damage blockers will no longer need a blanket ban -- they can just ban the uncertified one.

This is a problem and and opportunity for the ad industry. If your livelihood depends on it, you have a good incentive to bring it to the urgent attention of your professional trade organizations.
