BlueLancer Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I rarely post a question here but this got me wondering... This keeps happening on my laptop no matter what settings I try to tweak. I first thought the obvious... The .host file must be autofiltering "ads"... But nothing is there. That's just an example website I opened a few minutes ago with the same problem. If I go on just about any site that sells something, it just says [AD] instead of displaying the proper mini-image (which can be seen just fine on other computers). What can cause all browsers on my PC (IE, Mozilla, Opera) to filter those without showing the pic and replacing it with [AD]? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade995 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Sounds like your virus scan or firewall is filtering them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
