steve_b_wales Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 While trying to open a program earlier, a message came up saying that it appears that I have AdBlock Plus activated, which stops me using the program. A message stated to click on the AdBlock icon on the top right of my browser to disable it for this particular program. There's no icon and also, I cannpt find this program/app anywhere on my computer. Any ideas??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strimmer_13 Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Yea Clear cookies, quick scan and try again. That doesn't sound right Sorry didnt read it right, where you said program. I thought browser. Still something does not seem right, as ive ran vpns and adblock, and only recently does my antivirus (eset) start doing what youve described.

The only program it won't let me access is 123 greetings.com which I've used many times to send E-cards for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Right click on the page and Adblock should come up in a drop down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozer Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 I use Ad Block Ultimate and loaded 123 and got this message. My Icon for Ad Block is arrowed in Black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just tried it. When 123 greetings.com opens, it immediately comes up with the Adblock message. I tried right clicking on the page but nothing happens. 4 minutes ago, Snoozer said: I use Ad Block Ultimate and loaded 123 and got this message. My Icon for Ad Block is arrowed in Black. I haven't got the 'lock' symbol on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozer Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 What Browser Steve ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) The ad blocker is one of your extensions, so you need to find where they are - usually in settings or some such. If you're using Chrome,: In your browser search type: chrome://extensions/ and you'll find ad blocker there. Then disable it.

They are called 'plug ins' and are: Open H264 Video Codec Shockwave flash 32.0 r0 Widevine Content Decryption Module by Google Inc. None of the above means anything to me!!!! UPDATE: Without me adding/removing anything, all of a sudden 123 Greetings.com is now working!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
