Ad-ware blocking

[1st_petrolhead]

For some reason Ad-ware does not like me viewing Pistonheads

The site will open briefly and ad-ware will then shut it down

If I disable ad-ware I can then view the site

Any one have experience of adware or suggestions

My adaware doesnt do this...Are you sure its not something else? or something in the settings?

Its defo ad-ware as the icon is the taskbar flashes red

Maybe because some of the ads we serve originate from DoubleClick servers. I know some people have had warnings about this before. It's not something we can control unfortunately. If we want the big name advertisers we have to accept where their ads are served from.

I accept that but can anyone with some experience of ad-ware point in the right direction as to changing setting so all you site works without being blocked

I am new to PH but am having a similar problem with other websites on my home PC i.e Amazon and PayPal -i have only come into PH in work so far!!!.
It appears that people do get similar problems with a random range of sites.
I have gone into forums to try and find the answer to it.
Microsoft also give a solution but a dangerous one!!! They suggest opening Regedit and altering stuff in there. I have asked IT in work about this and even they are dubious about this as if its not done correctly then the whole pc will die.
I have tried shutting adaware/firwealls/antivirus etc but still have the problem with the 2 sites.
Is this yet another site to have the same problems for some people?
Its really frustrating!!!

I ended up removing adware and uding the MS one

I have just been given a solution for this problem.
Someone in another forum passed it on.
I will forward the details later this week .
Basically it involves opening the following folder and deleting certainn files/references.
C:WINDOMS32/HOSTS
THE FILE "HOSTS" IS OPENED USING NOTEPAD/WORDPAD AND THE OFFENDING ITEMS DELETED.
