At first, sorry for my broken rujak english... , and thanks for MAS for your inspiration and suggestion.

What is HOSTS ?
The Hosts file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names.

HOW ITS WORKING?
This file is loaded into memory (cache) at startup, then Windows checks the Hosts file before it queries any DNS servers, which enables it to override addresses in the DNS. This prevents access to the listed sites by redirecting any connection attempts back to the local machine.

What we talking about here is feature of the HOSTS file.
Its ability to block other applications from connecting to the Internet, providing the entry exists. Such as, ads pop-up, banner, hijacking etc.

first, check your hosts file location:
Windows XP = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Windows 2K = C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Win 98/ME = C:\WINDOWS


you can open it with notepad or another text editor program.

here its the code :

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost

and here is another code that i blocked in my winbox.

#127.0.0.1 123counter.mycomputer.com
#127.0.0.1 123counter.superstats.com
#127.0.0.1 1ca.cqcounter.com
#127.0.0.1 1uk.cqcounter.com
#127.0.0.1 1us.cqcounter.com
#127.0.0.1 2001-007.com
#127.0.0.1 4-counter.com
#127.0.0.1 abscbn.spinbox.net
#127.0.0.1 activity.serving-sys.com #eyeblaster.com
#127.0.0.1 ad-logics.com
#127.0.0.1 adclient.rottentomatoes.com
#127.0.0.1 adcodes.aim4media.com
#127.0.0.1 adcounter.globeandmail.com
#127.0.0.1 adcounter.theglobeandmail.com
#127.0.0.1 addfreestats.com
#127.0.0.1 adlog.com.com # Used by Ziff Davis to serve
# ads and track users across
#127.0.0.1 n3349ad.doubleclick.net
#127.0.0.1 n479ad.doubleclick.net
#127.0.0.1 optimize.doubleclick.net
#127.0.0.1 rd.intl.doubleclick.net
#127.0.0.1 uunyadgda1.doubleclick.net
#127.0.0.1 uunyadgds1.doubleclick.net


so, there is a mysterious code. like this (example loh)

127.0.0.1 uunyadgda1.doubleclick.net

here is the code for ad pop-up. you disable it by adding "#" symbol in front of the code,so windows can by-pass this code at booting first time.
just like that simple. Turns to
#127.0.0.1 uunyadgda1.doubleclick.net



or we can use other way to block (differ it with by-pass) the ad-site.
example
127.0.0.1 uunyadgda1.doubleclick.net
turn to
0.0.0.0 uunyadgda1.doubleclick.net
or
0 uunyadgda1.doubleclick.net

or if want to block ad-sense google

0.0.0.0 pagead.googlesyndication.com
0.0.0.0 pagead2.googlesyndication.com
0.0.0.0 adservices.google.com

simple isn't it?

in case if your hosts file, larger than 135KB , it could slow down your browser. than here is the way

Goto your console, cmd prompt in windows.
then type
C:\>sc config DNSCache start= disabled
C:\>sc stop DNSCache
above command is to disabled DNScache, if you want to reset, chane the start=disabled to start=demand

just like that.
