Don't use AdMuncher because it will slow down web surfing and increase the bandwith usage. AdMuncher only supports HTTP 1.0 - it strips out important HTTP headers like gZip compression or keep-alive connections. 15 years ago this might have been OK, but doing this in the last 10 years is plain dumb. Adblocking makes more sense if it is done in the browser directly, like AdblockPlus does.
