Install an Ad Blocker instructions

I have Windows 8.1, someone told me an ad blocker is installed, and I should come here for instructions.

For what exactly?

If you have default Windows 8.1, you can install a myriad of adblocking things, from editing the HOSTS file to installing an AdBlock extension to your browser.

Internet Explorer has some adblock abilities in its "Tracking Protection" feature.

Do a web search for "<browser name> ad block plus" and follow the guides.
