How to Block Ads on Ustream

Websites that are ad-supported typically display one or more ads on the page. This is the case when you view the web page for Ustream. You can block ads to keep them from appearing on the Ustream page by editing the hosts file for your computer. The hosts file is used to maintain the mappings of various IP addresses to their host name. Adding entries to this file will prevent an Internet connection to the site that hosts an ad.
