Sponsored Links in Google will not open
|
|
Anyone know why the sponsored links at the top of a Google search results page will not open? All I get is a page telling me that IE(7) cannot open this page and then it gives me reasons, such as I am not connected to the internet or I typed the IP address wrong.
I use XP SP2 auto updated and have Comodo firewall and after checking my securtiy settings I just cant see why I cant open a sponsored link. Any help !

Sounds to me as if it might be some ad blocking software. Got anything like that? IE7 carries an in-built one.

Have checked my firewall settings (Comodo) and Spybot as well as my AVG anti virus setting and cant find a problem and nothing has been found in the IE 7 security set up. I will keep trying but Im not sure what I can do next. Anyone had this problem before?

It's possible that an entry in your hosts file is blocking the site you are trying to reach. If correct then it may be better if left blocked.
