Stop obnoxious Autoplay video Ads in AOL Desktop?

DaveImagery

First off, a big hello to the LTT community.  CP9mLZi.gif

 

Try as I might, I cannot get my mother to dump AOL's desktop software.  This software was written shortly after the wheel was invented, in a dark cave by two morons.  Anyway, she's had it for years and refuses to drop it.  Aol has recently increased the number of obnoxious autoplay ad videos baked right into their software.  There is no disabling them via options, and the AOL supervisor I talked to, basically said tough shit, deal with it.  I have no problems with ads, I understand they have there purpose, and support content creators.  I wouldn't even mind the ads so much, if AOL were a free service, but it's not.  It's like $14 a month!!! 

 

Obviously AOL is proprietary software, so UBlock Orign, Adblock Plus or any other third party software for that matter, won't work.  Is there something I can add to the Windows host's file?  Like the IP address' of AOL's ad servers? 

 

Appreciate any suggestions, thank you
