Post subject: Ad Block

| I run Firefox and I don't have and ad-blocker installed. Last week I began noticing that some ads were blocked. I get the "i" in the blue circle. Not all ads are blocked though just some.... like Amazon ads but not Netflix.
NE1 have an idea what might be causing this?

| Many ads are put out by companies driven by Spyware. You may have some security software, like Anti-Spyware software or a custom HOSTS file, in place that blocks those sites.
If you're seeing a 2" wide ad bar down the right side of this screen, you need Adblock Plus. Most of us using Firefox, are also using AdBlock + and NOScript to keep our screens clean and the spyware OFF of our computers.

That did it. I don't understand why I install an ad-blocking program that let's me see ads but it worked. |
