It blocked me from editing some investment information with Daily Finance. When I tried to access the edit feature for my portfolio a bar appeared at the bottom of my screen. I guess Ad Blocker telling me it was doing its thing. I tried clicking on it in case I needed to give permissions to allow this particular site and the bar disappeared never to e seen again. Went to Control Panel to delete Ad Blocker and could not find it there or by searching. Resorted to System Restore to regain control of my laptop. Now I do not know if it is lying in wait inside my PC to pounce on me again at some future time. Would like to know if system restore eliminates the thing or just disables it. If disabled how the heck do I get rid of it? Edited April 24, 2012 by Shamu

If you want to see if it's still there. As for a site working, just click on the stop sign looking icon on your browser frame, and tell it to disable on your troubled sites. You can set it for page specific or entire site. I use Adblock Plus, and Adblock Pop-up Addon, it really works great if you use both of them together. And if that doesn't cut out enough stuff for you try Ghostery, it will make a few things not work at first, but you can easily figure out which things need to be enabled . It removes all tracking from your browser, you would be amazed at how much your tracked on any search. They claim it's how they target you for ads. Shamu and Blackbart 2

Just my own stupidity and computer illeteracy that caused my problem.

LOL (see my post about not being able to make donations) NoScript can be a pain sometimes but you can allow temporary or permanent ok's for your sites.
