ooops, sorry, SRS...I was out of town when you asked, then the thread was not refreshed.

If you have the program, you would need to choose a combination of the filters that come with the program (or just begin with the defaults) or install some of the extra filters written by others. (The author of the program died several years ago)
Here is the guide to how the filters work. It is a steep learning curve to actually write them, so one can read what they do here, and play with different sets and combinations of them to get what suits you.

here (Proxofilterset)284K is a set of filters from 'Gryphon', which is a set based on some created by "JD", but improved for ease of use, it says.

I can even provide the sets written by JD..(3 levels...I use the middle one....and not ALL of them). And, I 'could' do screen captures of my current enabled set of filters that could be copied...I don't pretend that they would be 'best' or that they would suit YOU, but they keep me out of trouble...mostly..*grin*. ONCE in awhile I need to disable Proxo to make some javascript page work, and so far I have not delved into settings deeply enough to see if I can make exceptions without disabling the entire program.

I assume one can find JDs originals online, but it has been 2-3 years, and I haven't done all the searches.

I'll re-read this tomorrow and see if there's something I missed, or if there are questions.
