Hello,

A while back I created a video showing how to use adblock plus to block CPAlead. That has been outdated when cpealead realized what was going on and made people disable adblock plus before seeing the content – effectively breaking the block.

Here’s the new irreversible way to block CPALead – the one click solution.

1. Open up terminal – it can be found at /Applications/Utilities/

2. BE SURE to do EXACTLY what I say here. If you do anything different you may end up deleting all of your files or changing the wrong things. This is because Terminal is a direct command line for your system – with the proper commands you could wipe your whole hard drive. However what I will be showing you to do will only edit one file that tells your computer where to find certain web sites. However, I am not responsible for any damage you may inflict on your computer due to not following the instructions.

3. Type nano /etc/hosts

4. Scroll down using the arrow keys to the end of the document and paste the following text.

98.142.209.5 cpalead.com cpalock.com www.cpalead.com www.cpalock.com

5. Press (at the same time) control+x and enter Y for yes to save the information and hit enter.

6. Quit terminal and attempt to view a CPALead enabled web site. You will find a message at the top of the page (small) saying that CPALead was here but was blocked.

If step 6 worked, you have successfully blocked CPALead. Congrats!
