Ad Blocker

Pobby

Finding I cannot access channel 4 tv. I am told that I have the above installed. Checked my extensions and that is set to nothing at all installed. Any ideas please. The browser is chrome by the way.,

In Chrome, go to Settings | Extensions. What do you have listed in there?

You're probably blocking a script from executing. You could try clearing your cache and refresh the page to see if that helps, otherwise I'd check for any settings that could be blocking a script.

Thanks. Checked extensions none there. deleted history and cache and no good. Hmmmmmm!!

Hmmm, indeed! You could try creating a new user profile in Chrome to see if your existing one has become corrupted.

I don't suppose you've ever modified your hosts file?

Pobby

Have reset chrome, no improvement. Not touched the host files.

Have you tried it with another browser?

Thanks guys. Have tried with different browsers and I cannot think I have software installed that stevie has pointed out.

It doesn't necessarily means you have an ad blocker. Some other application is blocking some tracing cookies or browser scripts. Have you got any anti-malware, anti-virus, anty-spyware running? Recent Windows 7 updates enable an MS anti-malware program in the background.

EDIT: Check in the Windows update history.

Just to say thanks to you all for replying. It turned out that I had the blocker turned on with my anti virus. Silly billy!
