Troubleshooting 71 Troubleshoot Ad Blocking Troubleshoot Ad Blocking This information will help you solve the most frequently encountered problems with Ad Blocking. Does Ad Blocking block all advertising on the current page? Ads that are integrated with standard content-for instance text statements-will not be blocked. Will Popup Window Blocking block all pop-ups or only pop-up ads? Ad Blocking blocks all pop-ups that are started automatically during a Web page load. If a site uses popups for special alerts or additional information, you might want to disable Popup Window Blocking while viewing that site. Are there security issues associated with advertisements? While clicking on an ad should only display more information or direct you to another site, some advertisers will use ads to entice you into installing new functionality on your system. These may range from adding new menus to installing spyware. You should be especially wary of ads that invite you to install novelty cursors or other entertaining add-ons. These frequently include user agreements that require you to allow companies to track your browsing or to provide them with personal information, among other things. Such clauses are typically hidden deep in the text where many users will not bother to read them.

This information will help you solve the most frequently
encountered problems with Ad Blocking.
Does Ad Blocking block all advertising on the
current page?
Ads that are integrated with standard content—for
instance text statements—will not be blocked.
Will Popup Window Blocking block all pop-ups or
only pop-up ads?
Ad Blocking blocks all pop-ups that are started
automatically during a Web page load. If a site uses pop-
ups for special alerts or additional information, you
might want to disable Popup Window Blocking while
viewing that site.
Are there security issues associated with
advertisements?
While clicking on an ad should only display more
information or direct you to another site, some
advertisers will use ads to entice you into installing new
functionality on your system. These may range from
adding new menus to installing spyware. You should be
especially wary of ads that invite you to install novelty
cursors or other entertaining add-ons. These frequently
include user agreements that require you to allow
companies to track your browsing or to provide them
with personal information, among other things. Such
clauses are typically hidden deep in the text where many
users will not bother to read them.
