Hello. For some time now, I have been unable to watch television shows on a
tv network's website. In conjunction with this, I have also noticed ads
embedded in websites showing up as "unable to connect to the internet". When
I go to CBS.com (among others) to watch a video, a message appears over the
video player screen saying something like "your browser's ad blocker is
preventing the video from playing. Please disable the ad blocker". What's
interesting is that the same thing happens when I use Firefox. I am using
AVG Free version 8.0 and Zone Alarm firewall. I also have Windows Defender
for spyware. In an attempt to figure this out, I disabled the firewall,
uninstalled AVG (couldn't figure out how to turn it off without
uninstalling), and disabled windows defender. Still had the problem. I now
have everything back to normal, but still cannot watch streaming video from
CBS or NBC - YouTube works fine. Please help.
