Can IE extention prevent a image from being downloaded and displayed?

I want to write an IE extention that can prevent image from being displayed.

I know that when I got the DISPID_DOCUMENTCOMPLETE event, I can walk the DOM object of that web page and set the image object to invisible. But at that time the image has beed downloaded, Is there some solution that can prevent the image being downloaded

Thanks!

    If so, there will be not a efficient image AD blocker for IE by IE extension mechanism.

    Thought the image object can be set to invisible, the image itself has beed downloaded to local disk. What a pity, waste bandwidth.

    I think that my requirement is only a small one, Is there real no solution by using IE extension

    Or if there is other sood solution. ( ex, local proxy, injection of urlmon.dll or wininet.dll , etc )
