In your Windows directory there should be a file system32\drivers\etc\hosts (no extension). Open that with a text editor. It's a table that tells the system the IP addresses for specific addresses and is referenced before any DNS query is made. 127.0.0.1 is always your own computer so it'd redirect any attempts to load intellitxt to your own computer which has no idea what that website wants from it and just closes the connection. Result: No more Intellitxt. If you were to add some annoying ad provider there you could replace their ads with red Xs (in IE).

Happy days are here again. Once again I can disable IntelliTXT.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #28 on:** June 10, 2006, 02:06:02 AM »

Just noticed they're back, without the option to disable them now.

If we all spell badly then that will disable them!

What? Where? I don't see any StupidiTXT.

Karl Castaneda #2 · « **Reply #32 on:** June 11, 2006, 06:35:27 AM »

I don't see it, either.

vudu · « **Reply #33 on:** June 11, 2006, 08:10:21 AM »

Trust us--it's back and you can no longer disable it.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #34 on:** June 11, 2006, 10:26:10 AM »

you can no longer disable it.

The fact that I'm not seeing it seems to disprove that.

vudu · « **Reply #35 on:** June 11, 2006, 11:25:15 AM »

Fine--you can no longer disable it without toying around with your Windows directory.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #36 on:** June 11, 2006, 01:26:56 PM »

which browser are you using?

On one computer I use IE, iNTellitext will not go away, and I really don't want to mess with my Windows registry as my computer is messed up enough as it is.

On the other computer I use FireFox, first computer freezes when trying to use FF, but iNTellitext does not show up and neither does any other ad on anysite at all, it great.

vudu · « **Reply #37 on:** June 11, 2006, 01:42:24 PM »

I'm using Firefox.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #38 on:** June 11, 2006, 02:29:05 PM »

Then I assume you have Adblock & the Adblock Fiterser upadater...

Once I installed those extensions all the ads went away

No registry changing necessary, just change the HOSTS file.

HOSTS file is made of wit and magick.

ftw

A deer with poor depth perception!

...actually, deers don't have depth perception, do they? Okay, then a deer who has trouble making right turns. Assuming the eye it doesn't have is on the right side.

...Or is that 'isn't on the right side'?

IceCold · « **Reply #43 on:** June 12, 2006, 09:38:48 PM »

No eye deer!

Right. I can't expect anyone in PGC to know something I don't..

If that doesn't work, try:
127.0.0.1 planetgamecube.us.intellitxt.com

I tried your suggestions and neither one worked.

Anything else I should try? IntelliTXT has taken over my beloved gonintendo.com. Whatever am I to do?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #48 on:** June 20, 2006, 05:34:39 AM »

For gonintendo.com it'd be 127.0.0.1 gonintendo.us.intellitxt.com . Apparently the wildcards don't work so you'll have to modify that line for each site that annoys you (or get a plugin that kills all requests to any intellitxt.com address).
