You mean this site that pops you into said article, but then scrolls you to the top of the page to shove advertising into your face without even letting you glimpse at the searched for content?

For that, this: echo '0.0.0.0 heimdalsecurity.com' >> /etc/hosts

How many users know how to edit their hosts file?

I think that it was more a statement about the distaste that the author holds for that godawful site than an instruction for users to follow.

My point was that the problem is NOT easily solved for the typical user.
