Basically you can eliminate this pestulant adware on a Windows machine by editing the hosts file. Search for a file named hosts (no extension) in your Windows directory, and open it with any text editor. On my Windows 2000 machine, this directory is C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC.
I've added the following lines to my HOSTS file to block the Vibrantmedia ads:
127.0.0.1 itxt.vibrantmedia.com # vibrantmedia adware
127.0.0.1 devshed.us.intellitxt.com
127.0.0.1 vibrantmedia.com
127.0.0.1 intellitxt.com
Here's where I found out about this trick:

Images from the 2004 memorial seminar in Worcester, Mass.
Sato Sensei demonstrates yonkyo on me... boy, did that ever leave a mark. :)

These pictures came out a bit darker than I originally expected (or planned). On this morning, I took the 6:53 from East Norwalk. The pictures in the park were taken about 8:10.

This is my favorite part of my morning commute; walking through Madison Square Park. It's getting nicer now that it is warming up, and this was a beautiful morning.
It took a little while, but I finally got this working.
