Doncho,

Thanks to your suggestions, I found something that
helps tremendously and it is working (crossing my
fingers).  I went to Settings -> Configure Konqueror
-> Adblock Filters and clicked on Enable filters added
the expression
http://ad.yieldmanager.com/

Clicked OK and so far all is well.  Thanks for your
suggestion I also did that on the other machine
combined with this and the ads have stopped.

Regards,

Antonio
