Default Unwanted Image Blocking

Hi. Something is blocking certain images loading in my IE. The
images (which are often links) are replaced by [AD] which is
underlined. This is some form of advertisement blocking, based on the
image size I assume, but I do not know what is doing it. I use
Agnitum Outpost Pro firewall which has ad blocking but I have turned
the ad blocking plug-in off and even turned Outpost off completely but
something is still blocking certain images. Can anyone help or advise
me what is causing this.

Hi,
In this discussion
http://www.askdavetaylor.com/why_are..._adsize.h tml
one user mentions removing the Outpost Firewall as a solution.

Now that Outpost ad-blocking is turned off, try clearing the IE cache.

An uninstall/reinstall of Outpost may be the next step.

Hope this helps,
Don

Hi again. Just to update on the outcome; turning off Outpost Ad
plug-in AND clearing IE's cache did the trick (a hard refresh in IE -
Ctrl+Refresh also works).

Thanks for the help & Merry Christmas - Andy
