Following the directions on that page, I appear to have Grease Monkey
properly installed, but I can't get the last part of it to work.

      Just Drag and GM will ask you to install it. *Download Script
      Here.*

What do they mean by "Just Drag..."? Grease Monkey doesn't ask me
anything.

I click on the link to download AdSweep.zip as dragging it doesn't seem
to do anything.

In the download control box I select to open it and as the download
concludes I get AdSweep.js in a folder. I click on that and get the
following error message:

Windows Scripting Host
 Script: C:\.....\AdSweep.js
 Line:   15
 Char:   2
 Error: 'location' is undefined
 Code:   800A1391
 Source: Microsoft JScript runtime error.

I have tried this with several separate downloads of the file, and run
it both online and offline.

Did you have any trouble with it?

Am I doing something wrong?

    Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
    and remember what peace there may be in silence.
