Why can’t I see my Google Adsense ads in my Browser?
I had an interesting request for assistance today. One of my subscribers had to rebuild their computer system and when they did, they couldn’t see any of the “banner ads” on any sites.
By “banner ads” I mean AdSense, Auction Ads, Kontera, AdBrite etc. These seem to be all javascript enabled advertising services.
There were no errors being reported on the websites, the ads just didn’t appear. The user was using Firefox, as I do – so I checked using my setup, no problems.
After a few goes at troublingshooting, it was determined that the person was using Kaspersky Internet Security (6.0.2.614). Testing in Internet Explorer also revealed that these advertising services were also being blocked.
After visiting http://www.walkernews.net/2007/04/22/internet-problem-with-kaspersky-default-installation/ I found that the default installation for Kapersky 6.x blocked “banner ads”.
The user checked their Kapersky installation and modified the banner ad setting. They can now view their google ads without issue.
So, if you are experiencing issues viewing “banner ads” in your browser, check your Anti Spyware / Anti Virus software. If you are using Firefox, also check to see if you are using the ADBLOCK add-in.

Thank you for posting about my problem. I really appreciate your effort. I must tell your readers, that you’ve stand by me all along till my problem was solved. You see, I’ve been asking all over the Internet including Google AdSense Help Group, but nobody can tell me what’s wrong.
Maybe it’s God will that I became your subscriber. Frankly, I never thought you would answer my plea of help, but I was wrong. You promptly answered my email asking me several question about my PC and I’m really touched. I’m glad to be your friend.
Keep up the good works, my friend. I’m sure God will repay even more for your kindness.
Greetings and lotta loves from Malaysia.
p/s I hope you don’t mind I linked your blog to both of mine.
